Activity induced collapse and re-expansion of rigid polymers
Joseph Harder, Chantal Valeriani, Angelo Cacciuto
We study the elastic properties of a rigid filament in a bath of self-propelled particles. We find that while fully flexible filaments swell monotonically upon increasing the stren…
The role of particle shape in active depletion
J. Harder, S. A. Mallory, C. Tung +2
Using numerical simulations, we study how a solution of small active disks, acting as depletants, induces effective interactions on large passive colloids. Specifically, we analyze…
Curvature Induced Activation of a Passive Tracer in an Active Bath
S. A. Mallory, C. Valeriani, A. Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to study the motion of a large asymmetric tracer immersed in a low density suspension of self-propelled nanoparticles in two dimensions. Specifically,…
