Observation of two-step melting on a sphere
Melting in two-dimensional flat space is typically two-step and via the hexatic phase. How melting proceeds on a curved surface, however, is not known. Topology mandates that crystalline particle assemblies on these surfaces harbor a finite density of defects, which itself can be ordered, like the i...
