We model collective disk flow though a square array of obstacles as the flow direction is changed relative to the symmetry directions of the array. At lower disk densities there is no clogging for any driving direction, but as the disk…
Directional locking occurs when a particle moving over a periodic substrate becomes constrained to travel along certain substrate symmetry directions. Such locking effects arise for colloids and superconducting vortices moving over ordered…
We numerically examine clogging transitions for bidisperse disks flowing through a two dimensional periodic obstacle array. We show that clogging is a probabilistic event that occurs through a transition from a homogeneous flowing state to…
We examine the dynamics of a single colloidal particle driven through a colloidal lattice which can distort in response to the driven particle. We find a remarkably rich variety of dynamical locking phenomena as we vary the angle of the…
We examine the collective states of run-and-tumble active matter disks driven over a periodic obstacle array. When the drive is applied along a symmetry direction of the array, we find a clog-free uniform liquid state for low activity,…
We numerically examine the dynamic phases and pattern formation of two-dimensional monodisperse repulsive disks driven over random quenched disorder. We show that there is a series of distinct dynamic regimes as a function of increasing…
We examine the collective dynamics of disks moving through a square array of obstacles under cyclic square wave driving. Below a critical density we find that system organizes into a reversible state in which the disks return to the same…
We examine an assembly of repulsive disks interacting with a random obstacle array under a periodic drive, and find a transition from reversible to irreversible dynamics as a function of drive amplitude or disk density. At low densities and…
We numerically examine ballistic active disks driven through a random obstacle array. Formation of a pinned or clogged state occurs at much lower obstacle densities for the active disks than for passive disks. As a function of obstacle…
We numerically investigate collective ordering and disordering effects for vortices in type-II superconductors interacting with square and triangular substrate arrays under a dc drive that is slowly rotated with respect to the fixed…
We investigate the directional locking effects that arise when a monolayer of paramagnetic colloidal particles is driven across a triangular lattice of magnetic bubbles. We use an external rotating magnetic field to generate a two…
It is well known that a binary system of non-active disks that experience driving in opposite directions exhibits jammed, phase separated, disordered, and laning states. In active matter systems, such as a crowd of pedestrians, driving in…
Monodisperse circular disks have been collectively packed in confined geometries using a Monte Carlo method where the compaction is propelled by two- dimensional stochastic agitation. We have found that confinement (i.e., finite-size plus…
We numerically examine a single skyrmion dynamics under the influence of triangular and honeycomb obstacle arrays at zero temperature. The skyrmion Hall angle $\theta_{sk}$, that is the angle between the applied external drive and the…
We numerically examine the flow and clogging of particles driven through asymmetric funnel arrays when the commensurability ratio of the number of particles per plaquette is varied. The particle-particle interactions are modeled with a soft…
We combine experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the emergence of clogging in a system of interacting paramagnetic colloidal particles driven against a disordered landscape of larger obstacles. We consider a single aperture…
Understanding the drift motion and dynamical locking of crystalline clusters on patterned substrates is important for the diffusion and manipulation of nano- and micro-scale objects on surfaces. In a previous work, we studied the…
We consider a two-dimensional system of elongated particles driven over a random quenched disorder landscape. For varied pinning site density, external drive magnitude, and particle elongation, we find a wide variety of dynamic phases,…
We investigate the influence of obstacles on the collective motion of self propelled objects in the framework of the Vicsek model. The obstacles are arranged in a square lattice and have circular shape. We show that by increasing the radius…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the driven phases of particles such as vortices or colloids moving over a decagonal quasiperiodic substrate. In the regime where the pinned states have quasicrystalline ordering, the driven…
