In the framework of the theory, based on the density functional theory of freezing, the melting of the system with Yukawa potential and the hard-disk system with square-well attraction is considered. It is shown that melting scenario crucially depends on the shape of the potential. For the...

The high-quality magnetic fluid composition is capable of forming two-dimensional lattices of concentrated magnetic particle columns in a thin film in magnetic fields. The extraordinary lattices, a kind of novel mesoscopic system, have been explored with optical microscopy, digital imaging, and...
