movie
Animation. Transition between "crystal" and "glass" states for a system of five disks of radius r = 0.1863 L in a square box of side L. For this critical value of the radius, there are many possible paths between the "crystal" and "glass" states: they all share the same transition state. No path of this kind is possible for r > 0.1863 L. The animation pauses briefly at the transition state.
