28. Although the solidification temperature for a system containing 60 MB particles was found to be 0.16, this temperature scales with the size of the system-see, for example, J. Lee and J.M. Kosterlitz, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 43, 3265 (1991). For the system studied here the peak in the specific heat, which defines the transition temperature, is found at a temperature of 0.145. 10.1103/PhysRevB.43.3265
