Intermittent Attractive Interactions Lead to Microphase Separation in Non-motile Active Matter [PDF]
, 2022 Non-motile active matter exhibits a wide range of non-equilibrium collective phenomena yet examples are crucially lacking in the literature. We present a microscopic model inspired by the bacteria {\it Neisseria Meningitidis} in which diffusive agents ...

On the protocol dependence of plasticity in ultra-stable amorphous solids [PDF]
, 2018 While perfect crystals may exhibit a purely elastic response to shear all the way to yielding, the response of amorphous solids is punctuated by plastic events.

Effects of inertia on conformation and dynamics of active filaments [PDF]
, 2022 Many macroscopic active systems such as snakes, birds and fishes have flexible shapes and inertial effects on their motion, in contrast to their microscopic counterparts, cannot be ignored.

Extreme Spontaneous Deformations of Active Crystals
, 2023 We demonstrate that two-dimensional crystals made of active particles can experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. Using particles mostly interacting via pairwise repulsive forces, we show that such active crystals maintain ...

Interplay between jamming and MIPS in persistent self-propelling particles
, 2022 In living and engineered systems of active particles, self-propulsion induces an unjamming transition from a solid to a fluid phase and phase separation between a gas and a liquid-like phase.

Design principles for transporting vesicles with enclosed active particles
, 2023 We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the motility of a 2D vesicle containing self-propelled rods, as a function of the vesicle bending rigidity and the number density, length, and activity of the enclosed rods.

Geometric frustration in small colloidal clusters [PDF]
, 2009 We study the structure of clusters in a model colloidal system with competing interactions using Brownian dynamics simulations. A short-ranged attraction drives clustering, while a weak, long-ranged repulsion is used to model electrostatic charging in ...

Crystallization in suspensions of hard spheres: A Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulation study [PDF]
, 2010 The crystallization of a metastable melt is one of the most important non equilibrium phenomena in condensed matter physics, and hard sphere colloidal model systems have been used for several decades to investigate this process by experimental ...

Absolute negative mobility of an active tracer in a crowded environment
, 2022 Absolute negative mobility (ANM) refers to the situation where the average velocity of a driven tracer is opposite to the direction of the driving force.
