To investigate the melting behavior of two-dimensional classical particles in pure versus disordered environments.
Analyzed two-dimensional classical particles with Gaussian-core interactions
Examined phase behavior in both pure and disordered settings
Identified cooperative string-like motion of particles at low temperatures
Pure systems show conventional two-step melting with a hexatic phase
Disordered systems exhibit a one-step melting transition
Cooperative dynamics emerge in equilibrium phases, influenced by impurities leading to slow relaxation
