Emergent tetratic order in crowded systems of rotationally asymmetric hard kite particles

For colloidal particles, it remains challenging to predict the forms of order that can emerge in their dense assembled structures. Here, the authors show, by Monte Carlo simulations, that tetratic-ordered phases emerge in a dense two-dimensional system of hard kites that are rotationally asymmetric.
