[HTML][HTML] Emergent behavior in active colloids

A Zöttl, H Stark - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by
converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …

[HTML][HTML] Modeling active colloids: From active brownian particles to hydrodynamic and chemical fields

A Zöttl, H Stark - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 - annualreviews.org

Phoretic self-propulsion

JL Moran, JD Posner - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
It is well-known that micro-and nanoparticles can move by phoretic effects in response to
externally imposed gradients of scalar quantities such as chemical concentration or electric …

Tuning the random walk of active colloids: From individual run-and-tumble to dynamic clustering

H Karani, GE Pradillo, PM Vlahovska - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
