We study a minimal model of self-propelled particle in a crowded single-file environment. We extend classical models of exclusion processes (previously analyzed for diffusive and driven tracer particles) to the case where the tracer…

We investigate the overdamped dynamics of a `passive' particle driven by nonreciprocal interaction with a `driver' Brownian particle. When the interaction between them is short-ranged, the long-time behavior of the driven particle is…

We study dynamics of clustering in systems containing active particles that are immersed in an explicit solvent. For this purpose we have adopted a hybrid simulation method, consisting of molecular dynamics and multi-particle collision…

We investigate a two-dimensional system of active particles confined to a narrow annular domain. Despite the absence of explicit interactions among the velocities or the active forces of different particles, the system displays a transition…

Active Brownian particles, even without attractive and anisotropic inter-particle interactions, can form a high-density phase featuring structure-ordered domains as well as collective motion regions under thermal noise. However, the…

Collective rotations are common in active matter, enhancing cohesion, transport, and mixing. They are typically attributed to chiral non-reciprocal dynamics due to intrinsic particle chirality, torque-generating interactions among units, or…

Density-dependent diffusion is a widespread phenomenon in nature. We have examined the density-dependent diffusion behavior of some biological processes such as tumor growth and invasion [23]. Here, we extend our previous work by developing…

We study active run-and-tumble particles with an additional two-state internal variable characterizing their motile or non-motile state. Motile particles change irreversibly into non-motile ones upon collision with a non-motile particle.…

We study a minimal model of active transport in crowded single-file environments which generalises the emblematic model of single file diffusion to the case when the tracer particle (TP) performs either an autonomous directed motion or is…

The steady state reached by a system of particles sliding down a fluctuating surface has interesting properties. Particle clusters form and break rapidly, leading to a broad distribution of sizes and large fluctuations. The density-density…
