The non-Brownian vibration-induced crystallization of an assembly of monodisperse spheres increases the packing fraction from the dense random value to nearly the theoretical maximum of 0.74. Increasing the rate of the crystallization helps speed up manufacturing processes in a wide range of powder technology applications, but the level of crystallization reduces above an optimal vibration frequency. Here, we show that the accepted view that high-frequency vibration reduces crystallization due to overexcitation, akin to formation of an amorphous liquid at high temperatures is erroneous. In fact, rather counterintuitively, the opposite is true with the granular assembly underexcited at high frequencies. An understanding of the mechanisms of underexcitation has enabled us to devise schemes to allow crystallization at high frequencies. Crystallization of dry particle assemblies via imposed vibrations is a scalable route to assemble micro/macro crystals. It is well understood that there exists an optimal frequency to maximize crystallization with broad acceptance that this optimal frequency emerges because high-frequency vibration results in overexcitation of the assembly. Using measurements that include interrupted X-ray computed tomography and high-speed photography combined with discrete-element simulations we show that, rather counterintuitively, high-frequency vibration underexcites the assembly. The large accelerations imposed by high-frequency vibrations create a fluidized boundary layer that prevents momentum transfer into the bulk of the granular assembly. This results in particle underexcitation which inhibits the rearrangements required for crystallization. This clear understanding of the mechanisms has allowed the development of a simple concept to inhibit fluidization which thereby allows crystallization under high-frequency vibrations.
