Phase Separation in a system of Brownian inertial rotors
Lucio Mauro Carenza, Pasquale Digregorio, Massimiliano Semeraro +3
We uncover an emergent phase separation in a system of inertial dumbbells put into persistent rotation by a constant applied torque, breaking chiral symmetry, while interacting wit…
Work fluctuations for a confined Brownian particle: the role of initial conditions
Giovanni Battista Carollo, Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Gonnella +1
We study the large fluctuations of the work injected by the random force into a Brownian particle under the action of a confining harmonic potential. In particular, we compute anal…
Entropy production of active Brownian particles going from liquid to hexatic and solid phases
Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro, Antonio Suma +2
Due to its inherent intertwinement with irreversibility, entropy production is a prime observable to monitor in systems of active particles. In this numerical study, entropy produc…
3D active nematic disclinations behave as Majorana quasiparticles
Louise C. Head, Giuseppe Negro, Livio N. Carenza +7
Quasiparticles are low-energy excitations with important roles in condensed matter physics. An intriguing example is provided by Majorana fermions, quasiparticles which are identic…
Phase Separation Kinetics and Cluster Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Active Dumbbell Systems
C. B. Caporusso, L. F. Cugliandolo, P. Digregorio +2
Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the phase separation process of a two-dimensional active Brownian dumbbell model. We evaluated the time dependence of th…
Controlling flow patterns and topology in active emulsions
Giuseppe Negro, Louise C. Head, Livio N. Carenza +4
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal…
