Compaction from a random-loose-packed to a random-close-packed phase is observed when monodisperse granular beds are shaken, but beyond this packing, the system freezes up in a jammed structure. Here we report a technique to grow large hard-sphere granular crystals, with perfect stacking and no defects by means of a gas phase epitaxial procedure. We study the growth mechanism and provide evidence that the observed granular crystallization is driven by gravity and energy dissipation.
