Active Colloidal Molecules in Activity Gradients
Hidde D. Vuijk, Sophie Klempahn, Holger Merlitz +2
We consider a rigid assembly of two active Brownian particles, forming an active colloidal dimer, in a gradient of activity. We show analytically that depending on the relative ori…
Chemotaxis of cargo-carrying self-propelled particles
Hidde D. Vuijk, Holger Merlitz, Michael Lang +2
Active particles with their characteristic feature of self-propulsion are regarded as the simplest models for motility in living systems. The accumulation of active particles in lo…
Pseudo-chemotaxis of active Brownian particles competing for food
Holger Merlitz, Hidde Derk Vuijk, Rene Wittmann +2
Using Brownian dynamics simulations, the motion of active Brownian particles (ABPs) in the presence of fuel (or 'food') sources is studied. It is an established fact that within co…
Lorentz forces induce inhomogeneity and fluxes in active systems
Hidde Derk Vuijk, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Holger Merlitz +2
We consider the nonequilibrium dynamics of a charged active Brownian particle in the presence of a space dependent magnetic field. It has recently been shown that the Lorentz force…
Linear response approach to active Brownian particles in time-varying activity fields
Holger Merlitz, Hidde Vuijk, Joseph Brader +2
In a theoretical and simulation study, active Brownian particles (ABPs) in three-dimensional bulk systems are exposed to time-varying sinusoidal activity waves that are running thr…
Pseudochemotaxis in inhomogeneous active Brownian systems
Hidde Vuijk, Abhinav Sharma, Debasish Mondal +2
We study dynamical properties of confined, self-propelled Brownian particles in an inhomogeneous activity profile. Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we calculate the probability…
