Cell theories for the chiral crystal phase of hard equilateral triangles
Y Martínez-Ratón, E Velasco - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We derive several versions of the cell theory for a crystal phase of hard equilateral triangles.
To that purpose we analytically calculated the free area of a frozen oriented or freely rotating …
