Two-Dimensional Phase Transitions in Classical Systems: 60 Years after the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner Theorem
Ruijian Zhu, Yanting Wang
In 1966, Hohenberg, Mermin and Wagner proved that long-wavelength fluctuations destabilize the long-range order of continuous symmetry in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Later in the…

Shape-Determined Kinetic Pathways in 2D Solid-Solid Phase Transitions
Ruijian Zhu, Yi Peng, Yanting Wang
Solid-solid phase transitions are ubiquitous in nature, but the kinetic pathway of anisotropic particle systems remains elusive, where the coupling between translational and rotati…
