摘要：

We have studied a system of macroscopic steel spheres confined to a hexagonal area on the lower surface of a horizontal parallel-plate capacitor. The spheres interact via repulsive electrostatic forces with each other and with the boundary and are in contact with an artificial thermal bath produced by mechanically agitating the entire apparatus. Translational and bond-orientational order evolve from the boundary inward as the temperature is lowered and appear abruptly and simultaneously in the cell center. This result implies a first-order transition between liquid and solid phases. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
