Traveling Fronts and the Smoothing of the Collective-Motion Phase Transition in Vibrated Polar Disks
Caleb J. Anderson Olivier Dauchot, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves
One of the most well known features of active matter is the tendencey of self-propelled particles to undergo system-wide collective motion. With low enough rotational noise or high…
First order alignment transition in an interfaced active nematic
Olga Bantysh, Jyothishraj Nambisan, Berta Martínez-Prat +3
We investigate experimentally the dynamic phase transition of a two-dimensional active nematic layer interfaced with a passive liquid crystal. Under a temperature ramp that leads t…
Geometrical control of active turbulence in curved topographies
D. J. G. Pearce, Perry W. Ellis, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves +1
We investigate the turbulent dynamics of a two-dimensional active nematic liquid crystal con- strained on a curved surface. Using a combination of hydrodynamic and particle-based s…
