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…
