Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle

Abstract

Overdamped Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle is studied by solving the Langevin equation analytically. On top of translational and rotational diffusion, in the context of the presented model, the "active" particle is driven along its internal orientation axis. We calculate the first four moments of the probability distribution function for displacements as a function of time for a spherical particle with isotropic translational diffusion as well as for an anisotropic ellipsoidal particle. In both cases the translational and rotational motion is either unconfined or confined to one or two dimensions. A significant non-Gaussian behavior at finite times t is signalled by a non-vanishing kurtosis. To delimit the super-diffusive regime, which occurs at intermediate times, two time scales are identified. For certain model situations a characteristic t^3 behavior of the mean square displacement is observed. Comparing the dynamics of real and artificial microswimmers like bacteria or catalytically driven Janus particles to our analytical expressions reveals whether their motion is Brownian or not.
