Stationary states of activity-driven harmonic chains

R Sarkar, I Santra, U Basu - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study the stationary state of a chain of harmonic oscillators driven by two active
reservoirs at the two ends. These reservoirs exert correlated stochastic forces on the …

On the Einstein relation between mobility and diffusion coefficient in an active bath

A Solon, JM Horowitz - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
An active bath, made of self-propelling units, is a nonequilibrium medium in which the
Einstein relation D= μk BT between the mobility μ and the diffusivity D of a tracer particle …

Activity driven transport in harmonic chains

I Santra, U Basu - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
The transport properties of an extended system driven by active reservoirs is an issue of
paramount importance, which remains virtually unexplored. Here we address this issue, for …

Force renormalization for probes immersed in an active bath

J Shea, G Jung, F Schmid - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Langevin equations or generalized Langevin equations (GLEs) are popular models for
describing the motion of a particle in a fluid medium in an effective manner. Here we …

Trapped tracer in a non-equilibrium bath: dynamics and energetics

K Goswami, R Metzler - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
We study the dynamics of a tracer that is elastically coupled to active particles being kept at
two different temperatures, as a prototype of tracer dynamics in a non-equilibrium bath …

Dynamical fluctuations of a tracer coupled to active and passive particles

I Santra - Journal of Physics: Complexity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the induced dynamics of an inertial tracer particle elastically coupled to passive or
active Brownian particles. We integrate out the environment degrees of freedom to obtain …

Trapped-particle microrheology of active suspensions

Z Peng, JF Brady - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
In microrheology, the local rheological properties, such as the viscoelasticity of a complex
fluid, are inferred from the free or forced motion of embedded colloidal probe particles …

Harmonic chain driven by active Rubin bath: transport properties and steady-state correlations

R Sarkar, I Santra, U Basu - Proceedings A, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Characterizing the properties of an extended system driven by active reservoirs is a question
of increasing importance. Here, we address this question in two steps. We start by …

Activity affects the stability, deformation and breakage dynamics of colloidal architectures

HJ Jonas, P Schall, PG Bolhuis - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Living network architectures, such as the cytoskeleton, are characterized by continuous
energy injection, leading to rich but poorly understood non-equilibrium physics. There is a …

Recovering the activity parameters of an active fluid confined in a sphere

C Villalobos, ML Cordero, E Clément, R Soto - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
The properties of an active fluid, for example, a bacterial bath or a collection of microtubules
and molecular motors, can be accessed through the dynamics of passive particle probes …
