36. Local nematic ordering in our system occurs even for particle aspect ratios (2-4) significantly lower than predicted by molecular dynamics simulations of hard needles at thermal equilibrium (critical aspect ratio is 6); see, e.g., D. Frenkel and R. Eppenga, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.31.1776 31, 1776 (1985). We believe that this discrepancy is related to the nonequilibrium character of the particle driving and interaction with each other. As one evidence of the very complex nature of nematic ordering in systems of elongated grains, in Ref. the nematic ordering was observed only for long enough particles with tapered ends (like rice or rolling pins), whereas particles with nontapered ends (rods or cylinders) typically formed only defect-riddled locally ordered nematic states.
