Distance control in many-particle systems is a fundamental problem in nature. This becomes particularly relevant in systems of active agents, which can sense their environment and react by adjusting their direction of motion. We employ…
We investigate a driven two-channel system where particles on different lanes mutually obstruct each others motion extending an earlier model by Popkov and Peschel [1]. This obstruction may occur in biological contexts due to steric…
The $\nu=2/5$ state is spin-unpolarized at weak magnetic field and fully polarized at strong field. At intermediate field, a plateau of half the maximal polarization is observed. We study this phenomenon in the frame of composite fermion…
We study a dynamical model of a rod-like particle surrounded by a cloud of smaller particles of the same charge and we show that, in the presence of a low-frequency alternating electric field, the rod displays the same type of anomalous…
Using an approach based on Doi-Peliti field theory, we study several different Active Ising Models (AIMs), in each of which collective motion (flocking) of self-propelled particles arises from the spontaneous breaking of a discrete…
We study nonequilibrium steady states of lattice gases with nearest-neighbor interactions that are driven between two reservoirs. Density profiles in these systems exhibit oscillations close to the reservoirs. We demonstrate that an…
Phase separation in a low-density gas-like phase and a high-density liquid-like one is a common trait of biological and synthetic self-propelling particles' systems. The competition between motility and stochastic forces is assumed to fix…
We investigate the collective dynamics of self-propelled particles able to probe and anticipate the orientation of their neighbors. We show that a simple anticipation strategy hinders the emergence of homogeneous flocking patterns. Yet,…
Previous experiments have shown that spherical colloidal particles relax to equilibrium slowly after they adsorb to a liquid-liquid interface, despite the large interfacial energy gradient driving the adsorption. The slow relaxation has…
