The odd ideal gas: Hall viscosity and thermal conductivity from non-Hermitian kinetic theory

Michel Fruchart, Ming Han, Colin Scheibner +1

The flow of momentum and energy in a fluid is typically associated with dissipative transport coefficients: viscosity and thermal conductivity. Fluids that break certain symmetries…

Machine learning active-nematic hydrodynamics

Jonathan Colen, Ming Han, Rui Zhang +10

Hydrodynamic theories effectively describe many-body systems out of equilibrium in terms of a few macroscopic parameters. However, such hydrodynamic parameters are difficult to der…

Statistical mechanics of a chiral active fluid

Ming Han, Michel Fruchart, Colin Scheibner +4

Statistical mechanics provides the foundation for describing complex materials using only a few thermodynamic variables. No such framework currently exists far from equilibrium. In…

A mechanism for anomalous transport in chiral active liquids

Zhenghan Liao, Ming Han, Michel Fruchart +2

Chiral active fluids are known to have anomalous transport properties such as the so-called odd viscosity. In this paper, we provide a microscopic mechanism for how such anomalous…

The Effective Temperature Concept Tested in an Active Colloid Mixture

Ming Han, Jing Yan, Steve Granick +1

Thermal energy agitates all matter and its competition with ordering tendencies is one of the most fundamental organizing principles in the physical world. Thus, it is natural to e…

Electric double layer of anisotropic dielectric colloids under electric fields

Ming Han, Huanxin Wu, Erik Luijten

Anisotropic colloidal particles constitute an important class of building blocks for self-assembly directed by electrical fields. The aggregation of these building blocks is driven…

Renormalized Surface Charge Density for a Strongly Charged Plate in Asymmetric Electrolytes: Asymptotic Exact Results in Poisson Boltzmann Theory

Ming Han, Xiangjun Xing

The Poisson-Boltzmann equation for a strongly charged plate inside a generic charge-asymmetric electrolyte is solved using the method of asymptotic matching. Both near field and fa…
