Active transport of a passive colloid in a bath of run-and-tumble particles

T Dhar, D Saintillan - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
The dispersion of a passive colloid immersed in a bath of non-interacting and non-Brownian
run-and-tumble microswimmers in two dimensions is analyzed using stochastic simulations …

Migration and Separation of Polymers in Nonuniform Active Baths

PL Muzzeddu, A Gambassi, JU Sommer, A Sharma - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Polymerlike structures are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic materials. Their configurational
and migration properties are often affected by crowded environments leading to nonthermal …

Active crystallization from power functional theory

S Hermann, M Schmidt - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We address the gas, liquid, and crystal phase behaviors of active Brownian particles in three
dimensions. The nonequilibrium force balance at coexistence leads to equality of state …
