Scalar active mixtures: The nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model

S Saha, J Agudo-Canalejo, R Golestanian - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
Pair interactions between active particles need not follow Newton's third law. In this work, we
propose a continuum model of pattern formation due to nonreciprocal interaction between …

Non-reciprocity across scales in active mixtures

A Dinelli, J O'Byrne, A Curatolo, Y Zhao… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
In active matter, particles typically experience mediated interactions, which are not
constrained by Newton's third law and are therefore generically non-reciprocal. Non …

Spontaneous demixing of binary colloidal flocks

S Maity, A Morin - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Population heterogeneity is ubiquitous among active living systems, but little is known about
its role in determining their spatial organization and large-scale dynamics. Combining …

Nonreciprocal Alignment Induces Asymmetric Clustering in Active Mixtures

KL Kreienkamp, SHL Klapp - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in biological and synthetic active matter systems that are
inherently out of equilibrium. Typically, such active mixtures involve not only conservative …

Collective behavior of chiral active particles with anisotropic interactions in a confined space

T Lei, C Zhao, R Yan, N Zhao - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
Extensive studies so far have indicated that chirality, anisotropic interactions and spatial
confinement play important roles in collective dynamics in active matter systems. However …

Lamellar to micellar phases and beyond: When tactic active systems admit free energy functionals

J O'Byrne, J Tailleur - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We consider microscopic models of active particles whose velocities, rotational diffusivities,
and tumbling rates depend on the gradient of a local field that is either externally imposed or …

Wetting dynamics by mixtures of fast and slow self-propelled particles

M Rojas-Vega, P De Castro, R Soto - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study active surface wetting using a minimal model of bacteria that takes into account the
intrinsic motility diversity of living matter. A mixture of “fast” and “slow” self-propelled …

Pseudo hard-sphere viscosities from equilibrium Molecular Dynamics

LA Nicasio-Collazo, CA Ramírez-Medina… - Journal of Physics …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Transport coefficients like shear, bulk and longitudinal viscosities are sensitive to the
intermolecular interaction potential and finite size effects when are numerically determined …

Phase behavior and surface tension of soft active Brownian particles

N Lauersdorf, T Kolb, M Moradi, E Nazockdast… - Soft Matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
We study quasi two-dimensional, monodisperse systems of active Brownian particles (ABPs)
for a range of activities, stiffnesses, and densities. We develop a microscopic, analytical …

Nanomotor-enhanced transport of passive Brownian particles in porous media

A Shi, H Wu, DK Schwartz - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Artificial micro/nanomotors are expected to perform tasks in interface-rich and species-rich
environments for biomedical and environmental applications. In these highly confined and …
