profile having isolated bumps is investigated. The phase diagram is calculated in one and two dimensions and we
locate the regions where modulated and uniform phases are formed and also regions where localized states are
formed. We investigate the effectiveness of the phase-field crystal model for describing fluids and crystals with
defects.We further consider a two-component model and elucidate how the structure transforms from hexagonal
crystalline ordering to square ordering as the concentration changes. Our conclusion contains a discussion of
possible interpretations of the order parameter field.
