Two-Dimensional Melting of Two- and Three-Component Mixtures
We elucidate the interplay between diverse two-dimensional melting pathways and establish solid/hexatic and hexatic/liquid transition criteria via the numerical simulations of the melting transition of two- and three-component mixtures of hard polygons and disks. We show that a mixture's melting pathway may differ from its components and demonstrate eutectic mixtures …
