Abstract: The phase transition most commonly observed is probably melting, a transition from ordered crystalline solids to disordered isotropic liquids. In three dimensions, melting is a single, first-order phase transition. In two-dimensional systems, however, theory predicts… read more here.

Abstract: We have studied, using molecular dynamics simulations, the pressure-induced melting in a monolayer of soft repulsive spherocylinders whose centers of mass are constrained to move on the surface of a sphere. We show that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00268976.2025.2487239
Abstract: Accurate analytical expressions of the Equation of State and excess Helmholtz free energy per particle were built for a classical hard-disk system, including its hexatic phase transition. The procedure followed involves the separation of the… read more here.
