We have performed three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulation of cohesivegranular particles under a plane shear. From the simulation, we found theexistence of three distinct phases in steady states: (I) a uniform shear phase,(II) a coexistent phase of a shear band and a gas region and (III) a crystalphase. We also found that the critical line between (II) and (III) isapproximately represented by $\zeta \propto \exp(\beta \dot\gamma L_y)$, where$\zeta$, $\beta$, $\dot\gamma$, $L_y$ are the dissipation rate, an unimportantconstant, the shear rate and the system size of the velocity gradientdirection, respectively.
