An x-ray scattering approach to determine the two-dimensional (2D) pair distribution function (PDF) in partially ordered 2D systems is proposed. We derive relations between the structure factor and PDF that enable quantitative studies of positional and bond-orientational (BO) order in real space. We apply this approach in the x-ray study of a liquid crystal (LC) film undergoing the smectic-hexatic phase transition, to analyze the interplay between the positional and BO order during the temperature evolution of the LC film. We analyze the positional correlation length in different directions in real space.

We present component-resolved and total pair distribution functions for a 2DEG with two symmetric valleys. Our results are based on quantum Monte Carlo simulations performed at several densities and spin polarizations.
We introduce an approximation for the pair distribution function of the inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid. Our approximation makes use of our recently published averaged pair distribution function at contact which has been shown to accurately reproduce
the averaged pair distribution function at contact for inhomogeneous density distributions. This approach achieves greater computational efficiency than previous approaches by enabling the use of exclusively fixed-kernel convolutions and thus allowing an implementation using fast Fourier transforms. We compare results for our pair distribution approximation with two previously published works and Monte-Carlo simulation, showing favorable results.
The identification of the different phases of a two-dimensional (2d) system, which might be in solid, hexatic, or liquid, requires the accurate determination of the correlation function of the translational and of the bond-orientational order paramet
ers. According to the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (KTHNY) theory, in the solid phase the translational correlation function decays algebraically, as a consequence of the Mermin-Wagner long-wavelength fluctuations. Recent results have however reported an exponential-like decay. By revisiting different definitions of the translational correlation function commonly used in the literature, here we clarify that the observed exponential-like decay in the solid phase results from an inaccurate determination of the symmetry axis of the solid; the expected power-law behaviour is recovered when the symmetry axis is properly identified. We show that, contrary to the common assumption, the symmetry axis of a 2d solid is not fixed by the direction of its global bond-orientational parameter, and introduce an approach allowing to determine the symmetry axis from a real space analysis of the sample.
Angular correlations in dense solutions and melts of flexible polymer chains are investigated with respect to the distance $r$ between the bonds by comparing quantitative predictions of perturbation calculations with numerical data obtained by Monte
Carlo simulation of the bond-fluctuation model. We consider both monodisperse systems and grand-canonical (Flory-distributed) equilibrium polymers. Density effects are discussed as well as finite chain length corrections. The intrachain bond-bond correlation function $P(r)$ is shown to decay as $P(r) sim 1/r^3$ for $xi ll r ll r^*$ with $xi$ being the screening length of the density fluctuations and $r^* sim N^{1/3}$ a novel length scale increasing slowly with (mean) chain length $N$.
We investigate the translational and rotational relaxation dynamics of a crowded two-dimensional system of monodisperse Penrose kites, in which crystallization, quasi-crystallization, and nematic ordering are suppressed, from low to high area fractio
ns along the metastable ergodic fluid branch. First, we demonstrate a decoupling between both the translational and the rotational diffusion coefficients and the relaxation time: the diffusivities are not inversely proportional to the relaxation time, neither in the low-density normal liquid regime nor in the high-density supercooled regime. Our simulations reveal that this inverse proportionality breaks in the normal liquid regime due to the Mermin-Wagner long-wavelength fluctuations and in the supercooled regime due to the dynamical heterogeneities. We then show that dynamical heterogeneities are mainly spatial for translational degrees of freedom and temporal for rotational ones, that there is no correlation between the particles with the largest translational and rotational displacements, and that different dynamical length scales characterize the translational and the rotational motion. Hence, despite the translational and the rotational glass-transition densities coincide, according to a mode-coupling fit, translations and rotations appear to decorrelate via different dynamical processes.
