 A classic phenomenon in Statistical Mechanics is the emergence of crystalline phases at low temperature. Until recently not much was known about this problem in the case of atomistic systems with unbounded degrees of freedom. I will explain the link between crystal formation and orientational order. Then I will demonstrate that orientational order emerges in many realistic two-dimensional systems.
