Flowing crystal of self-propelled particles
Guillaume Briand, Michael Schindler, Olivier Dauchot
We experimentally and numerically study the structure and dynamics of a mono-disperse packing of spontaneously aligning self-propelled hard disks. The packings are such that their…
Coupling spin to velocity: collective motion of Hamiltonian polar particles
Sigbjørn Løland Bore, Michael Schindler, Khanh-Dang Nguyen Thu Lam +2
We propose a conservative two-dimensional particle model in which particles carry a continuous and classical spin. The model includes standard ferromagnetic interactions between sp…
The range and nature of effective interactions in hard-sphere solids
Michael Schindler, A. C. Maggs
Colloidal systems observed in video microscopy are often analysed using the displacements correlation matrix of particle positions. In non-thermal systems, the inverse of this matr…
Cavity averages for hard spheres in the presence of polydispersity and incomplete data
Michael Schindler, A. C. Maggs
We develop a cavity-based method which allows to extract thermodynamic properties from position information in hard-sphere/disk systems. So far, there are 'available-volume' and 'f…
Self-propelled hard disks: implicit alignment and transition to collective motion
Khanh-Dang Nguyen Thu Lam, Michael Schindler, Olivier Dauchot
We show that low density homogeneous phases of self propelled hard disks exhibit a transition from isotropic to polar collective motion, albeit of a qualitatively distinct class fr…
Polar active liquids: a universal classification rooted in nonconservation of momentum
Khanh-Dang Nguyen Thu Lam, Michael Schindler, Olivier Dauchot
We study the spatially homogeneous phases of polar active particles in the low density limit, and specifically the transition from the isotropic phase to collective polar motion. W…
