How to capture active particles

open access: yes, 2012
For many applications, it is important to catch collections of autonomously navigating microbes and man-made microswimmers in a controlled way. Here we propose an efficient trap to collectively capture self-propelled colloidal rods.

Active vs. Passive Hard Disks Against a Membrane : Mechanical Pressure and Instability

open access: yes, 2017
We experimentally study the mechanical pressure exerted by a set of respectively passive isotropic and self-propelled polar disks onto two different flexible unidimensional membranes.

Nonlinear Brownian motion - mean square displacement

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2004
The stochastic dynamics of self-propelled Brownian particles is studied by means of the Langevin and the Fokker-Planck approach. We model the driving by a nonlinear friction function which has a negative part at small velocities, leading to active ...

Ordering dynamics of self-propelled particles in an inhomogeneous medium

open access: yes, 2018
Ordering dynamics of self-propelled particles in an inhomogeneous medium in two-dimensions is studied. We write coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion for coarse-grained density and velocity fields in the presence of an external random disorder ...

Local disalignment can promote coherent collective motion

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2013
When particles move at a constant speed and have the tendency to align their directions of motion, ordered large-scale movement can emerge despite significant levels of noise.

Light-switchable propulsion of active particles with reversible interactions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Fast control over propulsion direction modulates interactions between self-propelled particles and opens new avenues for the design of active materials.

Spatially structured flocking in a proliferating population of self-propelled organisms without explicit alignment interactions

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
While it is well established that self-propelled particles with alignment interactions can exhibit orientational order, the impact of self-replication and annihilation, which are key characteristics in cellular systems, on spatiotemporal order remains ...
