The Many Faces of Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations Out of Equilibrium
Marco Baldovin, Lorenzo Caprini, Andrea Puglisi +2
In this paper, we offer to the reader an essential review of the theory of Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations (FDR), from the first formulations due to Einstein and Onsager, to the…
Active Colloids in Harmonic Optical Potentials
Ivo Buttinoni, Lorenzo Caprini, Laura Alvarez +2
We study the motion of active patchy colloids in an optical trap using experiments, theory and numerical simulations. To achieve isotropic and harmonic confinement, we prototype mi…
A microfluidic method for passive trapping of sperms in microstructures
Binita Nath, Lorenzo Caprini, Claudio Maggi +5
Sperm motility is a prerequisite for male fertility. Enhancing the concentration of motile sperms in assisted reproductive technologies - for human and animal reproduction - is typ…
Entropons as collective excitations in active solids
Lorenzo Caprini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi, Andrea Puglisi +1
The vibrational dynamics of solids is described by phonons constituting basic collective excitations in equilibrium crystals. Here we consider an active crystal composed of self-pr…
Role of rotational inertia for collective phenomena in active matter
Lorenzo Caprini, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Hartmut Löwen
We investigate the effect of rotational inertia on the collective phenomena of underdamped active systems and show that the increase of the moment of inertia of each particle favor…
Active particles driven by competing spatially dependent self-propulsion and external force
Lorenzo Caprini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi, René Wittmann +1
We investigate how the competing presence of a nonuniform motility landscape and an external confining field affects the properties of active particles. We employ the active Ornste…
The Parental Active Model: a unifying stochastic description of self-propulsion
Lorenzo Caprini, Alexander Ralf Sprenger, Hartmut Löwen +1
We propose a new overarching model for self-propelled particles that flexibly generates a full family of "descendants". The general dynamics introduced in this paper, which we deno…
