Single-file diffusion in spatially inhomogeneous systems
Benjamin Sorkin, David S. Dean
We study the effect of spatially-varying potential and diffusivity on the dispersion of a tracer particle in single-file diffusion. Non-interacting particles in such a system exhib…

Detecting and characterizing phase transitions in active matter using entropy
Benjamin Sorkin, Avraham Be'er, Haim Diamant +1
A major challenge in the study of active matter lies in quantitative characterization of phases and transitions between them. We show how the entropy of a collection of active obje…

Persistent Collective Motion of a Dispersing Membrane Domain
Benjamin Sorkin, Haim Diamant
We study the Brownian motion of an assembly of mobile inclusions embedded in a fluid membrane. The motion includes the dispersal of the assembly, accompanied by the diffusion of it…
