Towards frustration of freezing transition in a binary hard-disk mixture

The freezing mechanism, recently suggested for a monodisperse hard-disk fluid [Huerta et al, Phys. Rev. E, 2006, Vol. 74, 061106] is extended here to an equimolar binary hard-disk mixtures. We are showing that for diameter ratios, smaller than 1.15 the global orientational order parameter of the bin...
