Andrew Boothroyd recently showed me a very elegant demonstration based on this paper
Spontaneous Chirality in Simple Systems
Galen T. Pickett, Mark Gross, and Hiroko Okuyama
It considers hard spheres confined to a cylinder. Different phases depending on the value of D, the ratio of the diameters of the cylinder and the spheres. The phase diagram is below.
I found a .ppt that has the nice pictures below.
