Crystallization in a horizontally vibrated monolayer of spheres

The dynamics of a cluster consisting of a few thousand steel spheres on a horizontally vibrated plate is studied experimentally. A transition from randomly arranged and almost independently moving particles to a two-dimensional crystallike structure occurs when the filling fraction (the number of pa...
