Domain walls in vertically vibrated monolayers of cylinders confined in annuli
Liquid-crystalline ordering in vertically vibrated granular monolayers of metallic rods confined in annuli of different sizes is examined. The annuli consist of circular cavities with a central circular obstruction. In the absence of the central obstruction, rods of low aspect ratio exhibit global t...
