Mass-induced Mpemba effect in a polymer-bead system

Hosung Kwak, Yongjoo Baek, Hawoong Jeong

We propose a physically motivated model in which the Mpemba effect is induced by the system's inertia. The model describes a polymer undergoing a denaturation transition whose forc…

Symmetry-breaking motility of penetrable objects in active fluids

Ki-Won Kim, Yunsik Choe, Yongjoo Baek

We investigate how a symmetric penetrable object immersed in an active fluid becomes motile due to a negative drag acting in the direction of its velocity. While similar phenomena…

Effects of the self-propulsion parity on the efficiency of a fuel-consuming active heat engine

Yongjae Oh, Yongjoo Baek

We propose a thermodynamically consistent, analytically tractable model of steady-state active heat engines driven by both temperature difference and a constant chemical driving. W…

Bodies in an Interacting Active Fluid: Far-Field Influence of a Single Body and Interaction Between Two Bodies

Omer Granek, Yongjoo Baek, Yariv Kafri +1

Because active particles break time-reversal symmetry, an active fluid can sustain currents even without an external drive. We show that when a passive body is placed in a fluid of…

Finite-size and finite-time effects in large deviation functions near dynamical symmetry breaking transitions

Yongjoo Baek, Yariv Kafri, Vivien Lecomte

We introduce and study a class of particle hopping models consisting of a single box coupled to a pair of reservoirs. Despite being zero-dimensional, in the limit of large particle…

Role of hubs in the synergistic spread of behavior

Yongjoo Baek, Kihong Chung, Meesoon Ha +2

The spread of behavior in a society has two major features: the synergy of multiple spreaders and the dominance of hubs. While strong synergy is known to induce mixed-order transit…

Generic long-range interactions between passive bodies in an active fluid

Yongjoo Baek, Alexandre P. Solon, Xinpeng Xu +2

Because active particles break time-reversal symmetry, a single non-spherical body placed in an active fluid generates currents. We show that when two or more passive bodies are pl…

Effects of a local defect on one-dimensional nonlinear surface growth

Hyungjoon Soh, Yongjoo Baek, Meesoon Ha +1

The slow-bond problem is a long-standing question about the minimal strength of a local defect with global effects on the Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality cl…

Extreme current fluctuations of boundary-driven systems in the large-N limit

Yongjoo Baek, Yariv Kafri, Vivien Lecomte

Current fluctuations in boundary-driven diffusive systems are, in many cases, studied using hydrodynamic theories. Their predictions are then expected to be valid for currents whic…
