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…
Phase separation in a chiral active fluid of inertial self-spinning disks
Pasquale Digregorio, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Francisco Vega Reyes
We show that systematic particle rotations in a fluid composed of disk-shaped spinners can spontaneously lead to phase separation. The phenomenon arises out of a homogeneous and hy…
