Time irreversibility in active matter, from micro to macro

J O'Byrne, Y Kafri, J Tailleur, F van Wijland - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

Colloquium: Inclusions, boundaries, and disorder in scalar active matter

O Granek, Y Kafri, M Kardar, S Ro, J Tailleur… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

[HTML][HTML] Inertial effects of self-propelled particles: From active Brownian to active Langevin motion

H Löwen - The Journal of chemical physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
Active particles that are self-propelled by converting energy into mechanical motion
represent an expanding research realm in physics and chemistry. For micrometer-sized …

Inertial self-propelled particles

L Caprini, U Marini Bettolo Marconi - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We study how inertia affects the behavior of self-propelled particles moving through a
viscous solvent by employing the underdamped version of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck …

Active Brownian motion in two dimensions under stochastic resetting

V Kumar, O Sadekar, U Basu - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We study the position distribution of an active Brownian particle (ABP) in the presence of
stochastic resetting in two spatial dimensions. We consider three different resetting …

Analytic solution of an active Brownian particle in a harmonic well

M Caraglio, T Franosch - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We provide an analytical solution for the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two-
dimensional active Brownian particle trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. Using the …

Exact position distribution of a harmonically confined run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions

NR Smith, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We consider an overdamped run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions, with self-propulsion
in an orientation that stochastically rotates by 90∘ at a constant rate, clockwise or …

Run-and-tumble particles in two dimensions: Marginal position distributions

I Santra, U Basu, S Sabhapandit - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We study a set of run-and-tumble particle (RTP) dynamics in two spatial dimensions. In the
first case of the orientation θ of the particle can assume a set of n possible discrete values …

[HTML][HTML] The parental active model: A unifying stochastic description of self-propulsion

L Caprini, AR Sprenger, H Löwen… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We propose a new overarching model for self-propelled particles that flexibly generates a
full family of “descendants.” The general dynamics introduced in this paper, which we …

Activated escape of a self-propelled particle from a metastable state

E Woillez, Y Zhao, Y Kafri, V Lecomte, J Tailleur - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We study the noise-driven escape of active Brownian particles (ABPs) and run-and-tumble
particles (RTPs) from confining potentials. In the small noise limit, we provide an exact …
