Nucleation of athermal hard spheres in a cyclically sheared cell

This movie is the visualization of an experiment showing the nucleation of 3 mm diameter glass spheres in a parallelepiped shear cell. For more details please see https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.1... For better visualization only the spheres that are in a crystalline state are shown in a rotating side view; ignoring all spheres which are in an amorphous configuration. Color indicates the crystal symmetry. The current packing fraction of the experimental sample is shown in the top right. The end of the plateau in the packing fraction is marked by the advent of the first growing nucleus, which is encircled in the rotating animation and depicted at a constant viewing perspective on the lower right. The wire frame indicates the inner part of the cell, while the green and brown frames are parallel to the shear walls.
