# Stripe phase of two-dimensional core-softened systems: structure recognition

## TL;DR

This paper characterizes the stripe phase in two-dimensional core-softened systems, identifying it as an oblique crystal and providing a detailed structural description based on simulations and experiments.

## Contribution

It offers a comprehensive structural analysis of the stripe phase, clarifying its nature as an oblique crystal in 2D core-softened systems.

## Key findings

- Stripe phase is an oblique crystal structure.
- Unit vectors of the stripe phase are determined.
- Structural description aligns with simulation and experimental observations.

## Abstract

In the present paper we discuss a so called stripe phase of two-dimensional systems which was observed in computer simulation of core-softened system and in some experiments with colloidal films. We show that the stripe phase is indeed an oblique crystal and find out its unit vectors, i.e. we give a full description of the structure of this crystalline phase.
