Emergent memory from tapping collisions in active granular matter
Lorenzo Caprini, Anton Ldov, Rahul Kumar Gupta +4
In an equilibrium thermal environment, random elastic collisions between background particles and a tracer establish the picture of Brownian motion fulfilling the celebrated Einste…
Entropy production and collective excitations of crystals out of equilibrium: the concept of entropons
Lorenzo Caprini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi, Hartmut Löwen
We study the collective vibrational excitations of crystals under out-of-equilibrium steady conditions that give rise to entropy production. Their excitation spectrum comprises equ…
Chiral active matter in external potentials
Lorenzo Caprini, Hartmut Löwen, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi
We investigate the interplay between chirality and confinement induced by the presence of an external potential. For potentials having radial symmetry, the circular character of th…
Inhomogeneous entropy production in active crystals with point imperfections
Lorenzo Caprini, Hartmut Löwen, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi
The presence of defects in solids formed by active particles breaks their discrete translational symmetry. As a consequence, many of their properties become space-dependent and dif…
Flocking without alignment interactions in attractive active Brownian particles
Lorenzo Caprini, Hartmut Löwen
Within a simple model of attractive active Brownian particles, we predict flocking behavior and challenge the widespread idea that alignment interactions are necessary to observe t…
Ultrafast entropy production in pump-probe experiments
Lorenzo Caprini, Hartmut Löwen, R. Matthias Geilhufe
The ultrafast control of materials has opened the possibility to investigate non-equilibrium states of matter with striking properties, such as transient superconductivity and ferr…
Dynamics of active particles with translational and rotational inertia
Alexander R. Sprenger, Lorenzo Caprini, Hartmut Löwen +1
Inertial effects affecting both the translational and rotational dynamics are inherent to a broad range of active systems at the macroscopic scale. Thus, there is a pivotal need fo…
