Formation of a glassy state of two-dimensional simple monatomic system with a pentagonal structure is studied by cooling from the melt via molecular dynamics simulations. We use the so-called Lennard-Jones-Gauss interatomic potential proposed by Engel and Trebin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 225505 (2007)]...
