Signatures of continuous hexatic–liquid transition in two-dimensional melting

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that the melting of two-dimensional crystals can be either continuous or discontinuous, relying on multiple parameters such as particle stiffness, density, and particle size dispersity. However,...

Understanding the glassy dynamics from melting temperatures in binary glass-forming liquids

“…We define e AA = (1 + D)e AB and e BB = (1 À D)e AB with D A [À1,1] in order to adjust the relative softness of particle species. 45,46 We set the units of mass, length, and energy to be m, s B , and e AB , respectively. The time and temperature are thus in units of s B m 1/2 e AB À1/2 and e AB k B À1 with k B being the Boltzmann constant.…”

Solid–liquid transition induced by rigidity disparity in a binary mixture of cell tissues

“…29,30 Most of the previous research studies on melting have focused on monodisperse systems, and few works have involved multicomponent cases. However, real systems in nature are often polydisperse, for instance, with size disparity, 31 rigidity disparity, [32][33][34] chiral disparity 35,36 and so on. Therefore, how the rigidity disparity in the binary mixture affects the solid-liquid transition is still unclear.…”
