Rounded hard squares confined in a circle transition from a cross-shaped tetratic domain with four +1/4 disclinations to a six-domain partition with six +1/4 disclinations and one central -1/2 disclination as roundness increases.
In this region,¯Ψ4 de- creases significantly, while¯Ψ6 rises to approximately0.8, since both hexatic and rhombic domains exhibit higher ¯Ψ6
