Active embracement enables autonomous tweezing in active star polymers

Marco Musacchio, Davide Breoni, Iman Abdoli +3

The capacity for autonomous structural reconfiguration is a defining trait of living systems, yet it remains elusive in artificial active matter. Here, we report the discovery of a…

Odd transport in a two-temperature Brownian dimer

Iman Abdoli, Hartmut Löwen

We investigate a two-temperature Brownian dimer with odd mobility, characterized by antisymmetric transport coefficients, as a controlled paradigm for odd nonequilibrium dynamics.…

Dynamical density functional theory for dense odd-diffusive fluids

Iman Abdoli, René Wittmann, Hartmut Löwen

Odd diffusion breaks time-reversal symmetry in overdamped systems through transverse probability currents while preserving equilibrium steady states. In this work, we develop a dyn…

Quadrupolar gyration of a Brownian particle in a confining ring

Iman Abdoli, Hartmut Löwen

We develop a minimal theoretical model that reveals a structured steady-state flux field with four alternating local circulation, a phenomenon we refer to as quadrupolar gyration.…

Enhanced Efficiency in Shear-Loaded Brownian Gyrators

Iman Abdoli, Abhinav Sharma, Hartmut Löwen

A Brownian gyrator is a system in which a particle experiences thermal noise from two distinct heat baths. This nonequilibrium setup inherently generates a nonzero torque, leading…

Shear-Driven Diffusion with Stochastic Resetting

Iman Abdoli, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

External flows, such as shear flow, add directional biases to particle motion, introducing anisotropic behavior into the system. Here, we explore the non-equilibrium dynamics that…

Spontaneous self-wrapping in chiral active polymers

Lorenzo Caprini, Iman Abdoli, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1

Biological organisms often have elongated, flexible structures with some degree of chirality in their bodies or movements. In nature, these organisms frequently take advantage of s…

Confined active particles with spatially dependent Lorentz force: an odd twist to the "best Fokker-Planck approximation"

René Wittmann, Iman Abdoli, Abhinav Sharma +1

We derive a version of the so-called "best Fokker-Planck approximation" (BFPA) to describe the spatial properties of interacting active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs) in arbi…

Tailoring the escape rate of a Brownian particle by combining a vortex flow with a magnetic field

Iman Abdoli, Hartmut Löwen, Jens-Uwe Sommer +1

The probability per unit time for a thermally activated Brownian particle to escape over a potential well is in general well-described by Kramers theory. Kramers showed that the es…

Collisions enhance self-diffusion in odd-diffusive systems

Erik Kalz, Hidde Derk Vuijk, Iman Abdoli +3

It is generally believed that collisions of particles reduce the self-diffusion coefficient. Here we show that in odd-diffusive systems, which are characterized by diffusion tensor…

Escape Dynamics in an Anisotropically Driven Brownian Magneto-System

Iman Abdoli, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Hartmut Löwen +1

Thermally activated escape of a Brownian particle over a potential barrier is well understood within Kramers theory. When subjected to an external magnetic field, the Lorentz force…

Brownian magneto-gyrator as a tunable microengine

Iman Abdoli, René Wittmann, Joseph Michael Brader +3

A Brownian particle performs gyrating motion around a potential energy minimum when subjected to thermal noises from two different heat baths. Here, we propose a magneto-gyrator ma…

Stochastic resetting of active Brownian particles with Lorentz force

Iman Abdoli, Abhinav Sharma

The equilibrium properties of a system of passive diffusing particles in an external magnetic field are unaffected by the Lorentz force. In contrast, active Brownian particles exhi…

Correlations in multithermostat Brownian systems with Lorentz force

Iman Abdoli, Erik Kalz, Hidde Derk Vuijk +4

We study the motion of a Brownian particle subjected to Lorentz force due to an external magnetic field. Each spatial degree of freedom of the particle is coupled to a different th…

Unusual stationary state in Brownian systems with Lorentz force

Iman Abdoli, Hidde Derk Vuijk, Rene Wittmann +3

In systems with overdamped dynamics, the Lorentz force reduces the diffusivity of a Brownian particle in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The anisotropy in diffusion…

Nondiffusive Fluxes in Brownian System with Lorentz Force

Iman Abdoli, Hidde Derk Vuijk, Jens-Uwe Sommer +2

The Fokker-Planck equation provides complete statistical description of a particle undergoing random motion in a solvent. In the presence of Lorentz force due to an external magnet…
