Active phase separation: new phenomenology from non-equilibrium physics
M. E. Cates, C. Nardini
In active systems, whose constituents have non-equilibrium dynamics at local level, fluid-fluid phase separation is widely observed. Examples include the formation of membraneless…
Statistical properties of microphase and bubbly phase-separated active fluids
Giordano Fausti, Cesare Nardini, Michael E Cates
In phase-separated active fluids, the Ostwald process can go into reverse leading to either microphase separation or bubbly phase separation. We show that the latter is formed of t…
Hyperuniformity in phase ordering: the roles of activity, noise, and non-constant mobility
Filippo De Luca, Xiao Ma, Cesare Nardini +1
Hyperuniformity emerges generically in the coarsening regime of phase-separating fluids. Numerical studies of active and passive systems have shown that the structure factor …
Classical Nucleation Theory for Active Fluid Phase Separation
M. E. Cates, C. Nardini
Classical nucleation theory (CNT), linking rare nucleation events to the free energy landscape of a growing nucleus, is central to understanding phase-change kinetics in passive fl…
Capillary interfacial tension in active phase separation
Giordano Fausti, Elsen Tjhung, Michael Cates +1
In passive fluid-fluid phase separation, a single interfacial tension sets both the capillary fluctuations of the interface and the rate of Ostwald ripening. We show that these phe…
