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…
Topological delocalisation of confined 3D active nematics
Louise C. Head, Pasquale Digregorio, Davide Marenduzzo +3
Defect lines in 3D active nematic systems are intriguing topological singularities whose out-of-equilibrium dynamics remain elusive in confined settings. Here, we numerically study…
Role of mass fluctuations in the diffusion of clusters of Brownian particles with activity
Daniela Moretti, Pasquale Digregorio, Giuseppe Gonnella +1
Motivated by the anomalous diffusion observed in clusters of active Brownian particles (ABPs), where the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient scales as with respec…
Morphology, Polarization Patterns, Compression, and Entropy Production in Phase-Separating Active Dumbbell Systems
Lucio Mauro Carenza, Claudio Basilio Caporusso, Pasquale Digregorio +3
Polar patterns and topological defects are ubiquitous in active matter. In this paper, we study a paradigmatic polar active dumbbell system through numerical simulations, to clarif…
Arrested phase separation and chiral symmetry breaking in active dumbbells under shear
Lucio Mauro Carenza, Giuseppe Negro, Pasquale Digregorio +2
Through molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the phase separation and aggregation dynamics of active dumbbell particles in two-dimensions subjected to shear. We find that…
Transverse Self-Propulsion Enhances the Aggregation of Active Dumbbells
Pasquale Digregorio, Daniela Moretti, Claudio Basilio Caporusso +5
We investigate a two-dimensional system of active Brownian dumbbells using molecular dynamics simulations. In this model, each dumbbell is driven by an active force oriented perpen…
