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...

of concentration and molecular weight, DNA will form an achiral line hexatic phase. An interesting recent observation is of the formation of chiral mesophases...

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...

existence of an equilibrium hexatic phase as well as a strongly first-order liquid-to-hexatic and hexatic-to-solid phase transition. These observations...

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...
