21. The rod with the corresponding void is very similar to some 2D self-organized structures in confined dust systems observed in recent numerical simulations [Y. H. Liu, Z. Y. Chen, F. Huang, M. Y. Yu, L. Wang, and A. Bogaerts, Phys. Plasmas 1070-664X 10.1063/1.2201058 13, 052110 (2006); Y. H. Liu, Z. Y. Chen, M. Y. Yu, and A. Bogaerts, Phys. Rev. E 74, 056401 (2006)], where a central cluster of dust grains replaces the rod.
