Specific heat in two-dimensional melting
Sven Deutschländer, Antonio M. Puertas, Georg Maret +1
We report the specific heat around the melting transition(s) of micrometer-sized superparamagnetic particles confined in two dimensions, calculated from fluctuations of posit…
Two-dimensional melting under quenched disorder
Sven Deutschländer, Tobias Kruppa, Hartmut Löwen +2
We study the influence of quenched disorder on the two-dimensional melting behavior by using both video-microscopy of superparamagnetic colloidal particles and computer simulations…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in 2D: Kibble-Zurek mechanism in temperature quenched colloidal monolayers
Patrick Dillmann, Georg Maret, Peter Keim
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the formation of topological defects during spontaneous symmetry breaking for quite different systems. Shortly after the big bang, the isotropy…
