Spontaneous velocity alignment in Motility-induced Phase Separation
arXiv:1912.03168 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.078001
Abstract
We study a system of purely repulsive spherical self-propelled particles in the minimal set-up inducing Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). We show that, even if explicit alignment interactions are absent, a growing order in the velocities of the clustered particles accompanies MIPS. Particles arrange into aligned or vortex-like domains. Their sizes increase as the persistence of the self-propulsion grows, an effect that is quantified studying the spatial correlation function of the velocities. We explain the velocity-alignment by unveiling a hidden alignment interaction of the Vicsek-like form, induced by the interplay between steric interactions and self-propulsion. As a consequence, we argue that the MIPS transition cannot be fully understood in terms of a scalar field, the density, since the collective orientation of the velocities should be included in effective coarse-grained descriptions.
