摘要：

Two-stage melting is observed in a confined monolayer of colloidal particles with dipole interactions. The defects observed are consistent with those predicted for the crystal, hexatic, and fluid phases. The bond-orientational correlation function shows a clear hexatic-to-fluid transition, and the ensemble's potential energy shows no obvious discontinuity around either transition. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
