Collective Motion of Self-Propelled Particles with Memory

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2015
We show that memory, in the form of underdamped angular dynamics, is a crucial ingredient for the collective properties of self-propelled particles. Using Vicsek-style models with an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process acting on angular velocity, we uncover a rich variety of collective phases not observed in usual overdamped systems, including vortex lattices ...

Collective motion of self-propelled particles with density-dependent switching effect

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2016
We study the effect of density-dependent angular response on large scale collective motion, that particles are more likely to switch their moving direction within lower local density region. We show that the presence of density-dependent angular response

Motility-induced coexistence of a hot liquid and a cold gas

open access: yesNature Communications
If two phases exist at the same time, such as a gas and a liquid, they have the same temperature. This fundamental law of equilibrium physics is known to apply even to many non-equilibrium systems.

Magnetic Janus Particles for Static and Dynamic (Bio)Sensing

open access: yesMagnetochemistry, 2019
Magnetic Janus particles bring together the ability of Janus particles to perform two different functions at the same time in a single particle with magnetic properties enabling their remote manipulation, which allows headed movement and orientation ...

Depinning transition of self-propelled particles

open access: yesPhysical Review E
Depinning transitions occur when a threshold force must be applied to drive an otherwise immobile system. For the depinning of colloidal particles from a corrugated landscape, we show how active noise due to self-propulsion impacts the nature of this transition, depending on the speed and the dimensionality $d$ of rotational Brownian motion: the drift ...

Swarming transitions of self-propelled particles with anisotropic social interactions

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Collective motion in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacterial colonies to insect swarms, fish schools, and bird flocks. In all cases the motility of individual cells or organisms both is influenced by and, in turn, influences the ...

Dynamics-dependent density distribution in active suspensions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
It has been predicted theoretically that the density of self-propelled particles whose speed is spatially dependent should be inversely proportional to the local speed.

Self-propelled particles driven by light

open access: yes, 2013
In this thesis I review the main features of active systems, both biological and artificial, and I propose a novel technique to obtain self-propelling microscopic colloids. To achieve the propulsion we exploit the phoretic forces that come into play when a Janus particle modifies asymmetrically its surrounding. A lot of experimental effort is dedicated
