{ "abstracts": [ { "content": "The collective behavior of vibrated hexagonal disks confined in a monolayer\nis investigated experimentally. Due to the broken circular symmetry, hexagons\nprefer to rotate upon sufficiently strong driving. Due to the formation of\nliquid bridges, short-ranged cohesive interactions are introduced upon wetting.\nConsequently, a nonequilibrium stationary state with the rotating disks\nself-organized in a hexagonal structure arises. The bond length of the\nhexagonal structure is slightly smaller than the circumdiameter of a hexagon,\nindicating geometric frustration. This investigation provides an example where\nthe collective behavior of granular matter is tuned by the shape of individual\nparticles.", "lang": "en", "mimetype": "text/plain", "sha1": "05068bae4e4298424d5609534ce66246d89e0fca" } ], "contribs": [ { "index": 0, "raw_name": "Manuel Baur", "role": "author" }, { "index": 1, "raw_name": "Kai Huang", "role": "author" } ], "ext_ids": { "arxiv": "1608.07254v2" }, "extra": { "arxiv": { "base_id": "1608.07254", "categories": [ "cond-mat.soft" ], "comments": "5 pages, 5 figures", "journal_ref": "Phys.
