File name and type:

sedi.avi: avi movie container (uses mpeg encoding)

This movie file was converted from two series of snapshots made with a 
visualization program developed in our group. The first series, displayed 
on the left in the movie, shows the bottom section of the simulation box 
as seen from the side (the whole simulation box is prohibitively large for
this initial volume fraction). The second series (on the right in the movie)
displays (a top view) of the fourth layer, counted from the bottom. The colors
of the particles are the same as in Figs. 1 and 3 of the paper:
white: disordered/fluid,
light green: fcc,
blue: hcp, 
red: slanted stacking fault,
dark green: (100) oriented fcc and
gray: ordered and not recognized as any of the above.

The parameters for this simulation were 
initial volume fraction: 0.0105
Peclet number: 1.015 
number of particles: 400 000
dimensionless particle flux: 0.104
lateral dimensions: 50 diameters by 50 diameters

Note, that no (100) oriented fcc crystal appears in this simulation
due to chance (unlike in Figs. 1 and 3, which display snapshots of
a different run with the same parameters).
