Tactic Behaviors in Asymmetric Pacman Particles
Small, EarlyView.The swimming behavior of TiO2 Pacman particles exhibits different modes depending on the fuel and illumination conditions. However, the behavior of these intrinsically asymmetric particles is still not well understood, and here we present a first approach to modeling their dynamics. Furthermore, we investigate their fundamental responses to some of the
