Relying on Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the hard-disk melting transition. The finite-size scaled values of the bond-orientational order parameter moments are obtained with the block analysis technique. The behaviour of Binder’s cumulant and the susceptibility favour an interpretation in terms of a first-order transition. © 1994 IOP Publishing Ltd.
