Shape and Symmetry Determine Two-Dimensional Melting Transitions of Hard Regular Polygons
The melting transition of two-dimensional systems is a fundamental problem in condensed matter and statistical physics that has advanced significantly through the application of computational resources and algorithms. Two-dimensional systems present the opportunity for novel phases and phase transit...
