Dynamics of a vibration-driven single disk.

ABSTRACT: Granular particles exhibit rich collective behaviors on vibration beds, but the motion of an isolated particle is not well understood even for uniform particles with a simple shape such as disks or spheres. Here we measured the motion of a single disk confined to a quasi-two-dimensional horizontal box on a vertically vibrating stage. The translational displacements obey compressed exponential distributions whose exponent [Formula: see text] increases with the frequency, while the rotational displacements exhibit unimodal distributions at low frequencies and bimodal distributions at high frequencies. During short time intervals, the translational displacements are subdiffusive and negatively correlated, while the rotational displacements are superdiffusive and positively correlated. After p
