Hard disks are hard spheres in two dimensions. The hard disk intermolecular pair potential is given by[1] [2]

Φ12(r)={∞;r<σ0;r≥σ

where Φ12(r) is the intermolecular pair potential between two disks at a distance r:=|r1−r2|, and σ 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

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]. In a recent publication by Mak [4] using over 4 million particles (20482) one appears to have the phase diagram isotropic (η<0.699), a hexatic phase, and a solid phase (η>0.723) (the maximum possible packing fraction is given by η=π/12≈0.906899... [5]) . Similar results have been found using the BBGKY hierarchy [6] and by studying tessellations (the hexatic region: 0.680<η<0.729) [7]. Also studied via integral equations [8]. Experimental results [9].
