Topological defects in two-dimensional crystals

Yong Chen, Wei-Kai Qi

By using topological current theory, we study the inner topological structure of the topological defects in two-dimensional (2D) crystal. We find that there are two elementary poin…

Topological dynamics and dynamical scaling behavior of vortices in a two-dimensional XY model

Wei-Kai Qi, Yong Chen

By using topological current theory we study the inner topological structure of vortices a two-dimensional (2D) XY model and find the topological current relating to the order para…

Topological aspect of disclinations in two-dimensional melting

Wei-Kai Qi, Tao Zhu, Yong Chen +1

By using topological current theory, we study the inner topological structure of disclinations during the melting of two-dimensional systems. From two-dimensional elasticity theory…

Many-body interactions and melting of colloidal crystals

J. Dobnikar, Y. Chen, R. Rzehak +1

We study the melting behavior of charged colloidal crystals, using a simulation technique that combines a continuous mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann description for the microscopic el…

Coexistence of hexatic and isotropic phases in two-dimensional Yukawa systems

Wei-Kai Qi, Shao-Meng Qin, Xiao-Ying Zhao +1

We have performed Brownian dynamics simulations on melting of two-dimensional colloidal crystal in which particles interact with Yukawa potential. The pair correlation function and…
