Nucleation and time-reversal symmetry breaking in nonconserved scalar field theories
Noah Ziethen, Michalis Chatzittofi, Michael E. Cates +1
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) describes the formation of a stable phase from a metastable one in terms of a single reaction coordinate that corresponds to the radius of a nucle…
Active Cahn-Hilliard theory for nonequilibrium phase separation: quantitative macroscopic predictions and a microscopic derivation
Sumeja Bureković, Filippo De Luca, Michael E. Cates +1
Phase-separating active systems can display phenomenology that is impossible in equilibrium. The binodal densities are not solely determined by a bulk (effective) free energy, but…
Extracting maximum power from active colloidal heat engines
D. Martin, C. Nardini, M. E. Cates +1
Colloidal heat engines extract power out of a fluctuating bath by manipulating a confined tracer. Considering a self-propelled tracer surrounded by a bath of passive colloids, we o…
