The nature of freezing and melting transitions for a system of model colloids interacting via
the Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek potential in a spatially periodic external …

The phase behavior of a two-dimensional colloidal system subject to a commensurate
triangular potential is investigated. We consider the integer number of colloids in each …

Abstract Using Monte Carlo simulations, the impact on structural ordering in two-
dimensional systems via the interplay of size bidispersity and quenched disorder in the form …

The nature of the melting transition for a system of hard discs with translational degrees of
freedom in two spatial dimensions has been analysed by a combination of computer …

We investigate by direct numerical solution of appropriate renormalization flow equations
the validity of a recent dislocation unbinding theory for laser-induced freezing and melting in …

The nature of the melting transition for a system of hard disks with translational degrees of
freedom in two spatial dimensions has been analyzed by a novel finite size scaling …

We report computer simulation studies of the kinetics of ordering of a two-dimensional
system of particles on a template with a one-dimensional periodic pattern. In equilibrium …

Using concepts from classical density functional theory, we investigate the freezing of a two-
dimensional system of ultrasoft particles in a one-dimensional external potential, a …

We study the phenomenon of laser-induced freezing, within a numerical renormalization
scheme which allows explicit comparison with a recent defect-mediated melting theory …

The effects of an externally applied one-dimensional periodic potential on the freezing and
melting behavior of two-dimensional systems of colloidal particles with a short-range …
