Kosterlitz-Thouless-type caging-uncaging transition in a quasi-one-dimensional hard disk system
The simplicity of a quasi-one-dimensional system of hard disks enables us to get a much deeper and more quantitative insight into the solid-to-fluid transformation and identify it as caging-uncaging transition. Both computer simulation data and theoretical results show that density decrease induces...
