If you have a question about this talk, please contact Kevin Ralley. We describe a novel phase transition in a non-cohesive granular gas subject to vertical vibration between two horizontal plates. We find a high-density, low temperature granular-liquid, coexisting with a low-density, high temperature granular-gas moving coherently. Simulations show that the mechanism responsible for the transition is the existence of a negative-compressibility spinodal region. The dynamics of the phase separation and the existence of an emergent, non-equilibrium surface tension are also discussed This talk is part of the Theoretical Physics Seminars series.
