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

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 Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (2048^2)} one appears to have the phase diagram isotropic Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (\eta < 0.699)} , a hexatic phase, and a solid phase Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (\eta > 0.723)} (the maximum possible packing fraction is given by Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \eta = \pi / \sqrt{12} \approx 0.906899...} [5]) . Similar results have been found using the BBGKY hierarchy [6] and by studying tessellations (the hexatic region: Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 0.680 < \eta < 0.729} ) [7].
