The hexatic phase is a state of matter that is between the solid and the isotropic liquid phases in two dimensional systems of particles. It is characterized...

Nelson, worked out a theory of two-dimensional melting, predicting the hexatic phase before it was experimentally observed by Pindak et al. In the 1980s...

order of a 2D crystal is called quasi-long-range (see also such hexatic phase for the phase behaviour of 2D ensembles). Interestingly, significant signatures...

disclinations store elastic energy by disturbing the director field. Hexatic phase – two-dimensional state of matter characterized by two order parameters:...

fluid phase with typically a six-folded director field. This so-called hexatic phase still has an orientational stiffness. The isotropic fluid phase appears...

two-dimensional melting that predicted a fourth hexatic phase of matter, interposed between the usual solid and liquid phases. KTHNY theory is named after J. Michael...
