Suspensions of Active Brownian Particles (ABP) undergo motility induced phase separation (MIPS) over a wide range of mean density and activity strength [1], even in the absence of an explicit attraction. Negative values of the mechanical…
We present a mode-coupling theory (MCT) for the high-density dynamics of two-dimensional spherical active Brownian particles (ABP). The theory is based on the integration-through-transients (ITT) formalism and hence provides a starting…
Active Brownian particles (ABPs) and Run-and-Tumble particles (RTPs) both self-propel at fixed speed $v$ along a body-axis ${\bf u}$ that reorients either through slow angular diffusion (ABPs) or sudden complete randomisation (RTPs). We…
Active Brownian particles (ABPs), when subject to purely repulsive interactions, are known to undergo activity-induced phase separation broadly resembling an equilibrium (attraction-induced) gas-liquid coexistence. Here we present an…
The pressure of suspensions of self-propelled objects is studied theoretically and by simulation of spherical active Brownian particles (ABP). We show that for certain geometries, the mechanical pressure as force/area of a confined systems…
Recently, there has been much interest in activity-induced phase separations in concentrated suspensions of "active Brownian particles" (ABPs), self-propelled spherical particles whose direction of motion relaxes through thermal rotational…
In the last decade, the study of pressure in active matter has attracted growing attention due to its fundamental relevance to nonequilibrium statistical physics. Active matter systems are composed of particles that consume energy to…
Biological microswimmers often inhabit a porous or crowded environment such as soil. In order to understand how such a complex environment influences their spreading, we numerically study non-interacting active Brownian particles (ABPs) in…
Active Brownian particles (ABPs) function as self-driving agents that display non-equilibrium behavior through their pairwise interactions which lead to phase separation and vortex patterns in both soft matter and living systems. A…
Homogeneous active Brownian particle (ABP) systems with purely repulsive interactions are considered to have simple phase behavior, but various physical attributes of active entities can lead to variation in the collective dynamics. Recent…
We study capillary condensation in a bath consisting of active Brownian particles (ABPs) and the forces acting on the capillary close to the motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). The capillary is modelled as two parallel rods of high…
Recent advances in micro- and nano-technologies allow the construction of complex active systems from biological and synthetic materials. An interesting example is active vesicles, which consist of a membrane enclosing self-propelled…
Active matter systems are able to exhibit emergent non-equilibrium states due to activity-induced effective interactions between the active particles. Here we study the aggregation and dynamical behavior of active rotating particles,…
In a system of Self-Propelled Particles (SPPs), the combination of self-propulsion and excluded volume effects can result in a phase separation called Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). Previous studies reported that MIPS is one of…
We study the stationary states of an over-damped active Brownian particle (ABP) in a harmonic trap in two dimensions, via mathematical calculations and numerical simulations. In addition to translational diffusion, the ABP self-propels with…
Aggregation of protein into bundles is responsible for many neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we show how two-patch colloidal particles self assemble into chains and a sudden transition to bundles takes place by tuning the patch…
A diverse range of natural and artificial self-propelled particles are known and are used nowadays. Among them, active Brownian particles (ABPs) and run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) are two important classes. We numerically study…
We investigate a trapping mechanism for passive Brownian particles based on mixtures with self-propelled dipolar colloids. Active dipoles, whose magnetic moment is oriented perpendicularly to their propulsion direction, spontaneously form…
We derive a mode-coupling theory (MCT) to describe the dynamics of tracer particles in dense systems of active Brownian particles (ABPs) in two spatial dimensions. The ABP undergo translational and rotational Brownian dynamics, and are…
We numerically studied active Brownian particles with attractive interactions. Contrary to our intuition, the attractive force between particles disrupts the formation of a single cluster observed in motility-induced phase separation,…
