Coarsening of granular clusters: Two types of scaling behaviors
We report on an experimental study of small cluster dynamics during the coarsening process in driven granular submonolayers of 120-microm bronze particles. The techniques of electrostatic and vertical mechanical vibration were employed to excite the granular gas. We measure the scaling exponent for the evaporation of small clusters during coarsening. …
