Self-propulsion against a moving membrane: enhanced accumulation and drag force
U. Marini Bettolo Marconi, A. Sarracino, C. Maggi +1
Self-propulsion (SP) is a main feature of active particles (AP), such as bacteria or biological micromotors, distinguishing them from passive colloids. A renowned consequence of SP…
The Ratchet effect in an ageing glass
Giacomo Gradenigo, Alessandro Sarracino, Dario Villamaina +2
We study the dynamics of an asymmetric intruder in a glass-former model. At equilibrium, the intruder diffuses with average zero velocity. After an abrupt quench to deeply unde…
Granular Brownian motion
Alessandro Sarracino, Dario Villamaina, Giulio Costantini +1
We study the stochastic motion of an intruder in a dilute driven granular gas. All particles are coupled to a thermostat, representing the external energy source, which is the sum…
