Self-propelled particle in a nonconvex external potential: Persistent limit in one dimension
Yaouen Fily
Equilibrium mapping techniques for nonaligning self-propelled particles have made it possible to predict the density profile of an active ideal gas in a wide variety of external po…
Equilibrium mappings in polar-isotropic confined active particles
Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan
Despite their fundamentally non-equilibrium nature, the individual and collective behavior of active systems with polar propulsion and isotropic interactions (polar-isotropic activ…
Active Particles on Curved Surfaces
Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan
Recent studies have highlighted the sensitivity of active matter to boundaries and their geometries. Here we develop a general theory for the dynamics and statistics of active part…
Minimal model of active colloids highlights the role of mechanical interactions in controlling the emergent behavior of active matter
M. Cristina Marchetti, Yaouen Fily, Silke Henkes +2
Minimal models of active Brownian colloids consisting of self-propelled spherical particles with purely repulsive interactions have recently been identified as excellent quantitati…
Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming
Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1
We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…
Dynamics and density distribution of strongly confined noninteracting nonaligning self-propelled particles in a nonconvex boundary
Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan
We study the dynamics of non-aligning, non-interacting self-propelled particles confined to a box in two dimensions. In the strong confinement limit, when the persistence length of…
Dynamics of Self-Propelled Particles Under Strong Confinement
Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan
We develop a statistical theory for the dynamics of non-aligning, non-interacting self-propelled particles confined in a convex box in two dimensions. We find that when the size of…
Athermal Phase Separation of Self-Propelled Particles with no Alignment
Yaouen Fily, M. Cristina Marchetti
We study numerically and analytically a model of self-propelled polar disks on a substrate in two dimensions. The particles interact via isotropic repulsive forces and are subject…
Active Jamming: Self-propelled soft particles at high density
Silke Henkes, Yaouen Fily, M. Cristina Marchetti
We study numerically the phases and dynamics of a dense collection of self-propelled particles with soft repulsive interactions in two dimensions. The model is motivated by recent…
Cooperative Self-Propulsion of Active and Passive Rotors
Yaouen Fily, Aparna Baskaran, M. Cristina Marchetti
Using minimal models for low Reynolds number passive and active rotors in a fluid, we characterize the hydrodynamic interactions among rotors and the resulting dynamics of a pair o…
