Abstract
A boundary structure is observed in beds of vertically vibrated granul ar materials separating regions of opposite phase. This structure is i nvestigated and it is identified as giving rise to both a global kink and hexagonal patterns. A global phase diagram of surface patterns on a vibrated bed is presented.
