Dynamic clustering of active rings

L Theeyancheri, S Chaki, T Bhattacharjee… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
A collection of rings made of active Brownian particles (ABPs) for different packing fractions
and activities is investigated using computer simulations. We show that active rings display …

Escape dynamics of active ring polymers in a cylindrical nanochannel

C Li, Q Chen, M Ding - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
We explore the escape dynamics of active ring polymers confined in a cylindrical
nanochannel using Brownian dynamics. Our simulation results show that the escape time …

Structure and dynamics of an active polymer chain inside a nanochannel grafted with polymers

R Sahoo, R Chakrabarti - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
We use computer simulations to investigate the complex dynamics of a polymer, made of
active Brownian particles, inside a channel grafted internally with passive polymer chains …

Forced and spontaneous translocation dynamics of a semiflexible active polymer in two dimensions

F Tan, J Wang, R Yan, N Zhao - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Polymer translocation is a fundamental topic in non-equilibrium physics and is crucially
important to many biological processes in life. In the present work, we adopt two …

A passive star polymer in a dense active bath: insights from computer simulations

RS Yadav, S Sharma, R Metzler, R Chakrabarti - Soft matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Using computer simulations in two dimensions (2D), we explore the structure and dynamics
of a star polymer with three arms made of passive monomers immersed in a bath of active …

Escape dynamics of a self-propelled nanorod from circular confinements with narrow openings

P Kumar, R Chakrabarti - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
We perform computer simulations to explore the escape dynamics of a self-propelled
(active) nanorod from circular confinements with narrow opening (s). Our results clearly …

Diffusion of active Brownian particles under quenched disorder

XB Zhao, X Zhang, W Guo - Plos one, 2024 - journals.plos.org
The motion of a single active particle in one dimension with quenched disorder under the
external force is investigated. Within the tailored parameter range, anomalous diffusion that …

Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media

R Sinaasappel, M Fazelzadeh, T Hooijschuur… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We investigate the locomotion of thin, living\textit {T.~ Tubifex} worms, which display active
polymerlike behavior, within quasi-2D arrays of pillars with different spatial arrangements …
