Hard disks are hard spheres in two dimensions. The hard disk intermolecular pair potential is given by[1] [2]
where is the intermolecular pair potential between two disks at a distance , and is the diameter of the disk. This page treats hard disks in a two-dimensional space, for three dimensions see the page hard disks in a three dimensional space.
Phase transitions[edit]
Despite the apparent simplicity of this model/system, the phase behaviour and the nature of the phase transitions remains an area of active study ever since the early work of Alder and Wainwright [3]. Recent works show a phase diagram containing an isotropic, a hexatic, and a solid phase [4]. Highly efficient event-chain Monte Carlo simulations of over 1 million hard disks by Bernard and Krauth have solidified this picture, with a first-order phase transition between the fluid at packing fraction and the hexatic phase at , and a continuous transition between the hexatic and solid phases at [5]. Note that the maximum possible packing fraction is given by [6]. This scenario has since been confirmed using a variety of simulation methods [7].
Similar results have been found using the BBGKY hierarchy [8] and by studying tessellations (the hexatic region: ) [9]. Also studied via integral equations [10]. Experimental results [11].
