Abstract
The segregation and the phase inversion are investigated through a simple granular system which consists of only two inelastic hard spheres in a square box with an energy source. With the variation of the coefficient of restitution, the mass ratio between two spheres or the box size, we show that two types of segregated states and crossover between them are realized in such a small simple system.
