A crystallization result in two dimensions for a soft disc affine potential

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We prove finite crystallization for particles in the plane interacting through a soft disc potential, as originally shown by C. Radin cite{Radin_soft}. We give an alternative proof that relies on the geometric decomposition of the energy proved in cite{DLF1}, and that is based on showing that any minimizer has at least as many boundary points as the canonical ``spiral configuration.
