Confinement-induced columnar crystals of ellipses

Densest-packed structures of identical ellipses within a parallel strip have been obtained through Monte Carlo simulations and analytic derivations. Each of such structures is an affine transformation of a particular densest-packed structure of identical circular disks. Three types of structures hav...
