Relaxation of the microstructure after the forcing stops. a Image of the relaxed state 120 s after the forcing stops, for the same experiment of Fig. 2. The particles are colour-coded according to the number of neighbours n. b Comparison of the probability p(n) in the initial state (t = 0 s, Fig. 2a); after forcing for 1000 cycles (t = 0.03 s, Fig. 2b); and during the relaxation process (t = 120 s, Fig. 3a). c Evolution of the mean number of neighbours \(\bar n\) and of the bond order parameters \(\left| {{\mathrm{\Psi }}_2} \right|\) and \(\left| {{\mathrm{\Psi }}_3} \right|\) from the initial state (t = 0 s), to after forcing (t = 0.03 s), and during the relaxation process (t = 120 s). d Evolution of the probability p(n) of having a number of neighbours equal to n from the initial state (t = 0 s), to after forcing (t = 0.03 s), and during the relaxation process (t = 120 s)
