Mpemba effect in the relaxation of an active Brownian particle in a trap without metastable states
arXiv:2411.02652 · doi:10.1063/5.0246857
Abstract
We explore the role of activity in the occurrence of the Mpemba effect within a system of an active colloid diffusing in a potential landscape devoid of metastable minimum. The Mpemba effect is characterized by a phenomenon where a hotter system reaches equilibrium quicker than a colder one when both are rapidly cooled to the same low temperature. While a minimal asymmetry in the potential landscape is crucial for observing this effect in passive colloidal systems, the introduction of activity can either amplify or reduce the threshold of this minimal asymmetry, resulting in the activity-induced and suppressed Mpemba effect. We attribute these variations in the Mpemba effect to the effective translational shift in the phase space, which occurs as activity is changed.
