One of the first theoretically predicted manifestations of strong interactions in many-electron
systems was the Wigner crystal,–, in which electrons crystallize into a regular lattice. The …

The present paper considers melting criteria for a plasma crystal discovered in dust plasma
in 1994. Separate discussions are devoted to three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

A novel two-dimensional system of colloidal particles with absolutely calibrated magnetic
interaction is used to investigate static and dynamic properties at the 2D crystal to liquid …

Strong correlations—cooperative behavior due to many-particle interactions—are
omnipresent in nature. They occur in electrolytic solutions, dense plasmas, ultracold ions …

The thermal and mechanical stability of graphene is important for many potential
applications in nanotechnology. We calculate the temperature dependence of the lattice …

We present an approach to the melting of graphene based on nucleation theory for a first
order phase transition from the two-dimensional (2D) solid to the 3D liquid via an …

Abstract We report a Monte Carlo study of phase transitions in a finite two-dimensional (2D)
system of charged classical particles which are confined by a circular parabolic or hard-wall …

Using Brownian dynamics computer simulations, we show that a two-dimensional
suspension of self-propelled (” active”) colloidal particles crystallizes at sufficiently high …

In a recent commentary, JM Kosterlitz described how D. Thouless and he got motivated to
investigate melting and suprafluidity in two dimensions [Kosterlitz JM (2016) J Phys …
