Morphology, Polarization Patterns, Compression, and Entropy Production in Phase-Separating Active Dumbbell Systems

Lucio Mauro Carenza, Claudio Basilio Caporusso, Pasquale Digregorio +3

Polar patterns and topological defects are ubiquitous in active matter. In this paper, we study a paradigmatic polar active dumbbell system through numerical simulations, to clarif…

Transverse Self-Propulsion Enhances the Aggregation of Active Dumbbells

Pasquale Digregorio, Daniela Moretti, Claudio Basilio Caporusso +5

We investigate a two-dimensional system of active Brownian dumbbells using molecular dynamics simulations. In this model, each dumbbell is driven by an active force oriented perpen…

Phase Separation Kinetics and Cluster Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Active Dumbbell Systems

C. B. Caporusso, L. F. Cugliandolo, P. Digregorio +2

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the phase separation process of a two-dimensional active Brownian dumbbell model. We evaluated the time dependence of th…

Phase behaviour and dynamics of three-dimensional active dumbbell systems

C. B. Caporusso, G. Negro, A. Suma +4

We present a comprehensive numerical study of the phase behavior and dynamics of a three-dimensional active dumbbell system with attractive interactions. We demonstrate that attrac…

Phase Coexistence and Edge Currents in the Chiral Lennard-Jones Fluid

Claudio B. Caporusso, Giuseppe Gonnella, Demian Levis

We study a model chiral fluid in two dimensions composed of Brownian disks interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential and a non-conservative transverse force, mimicking colloids spi…

Dynamics of Motility-Induced clusters: coarsening beyond Ostwald ripening

Claudio B. Caporusso, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Pasquale Digregorio +3

We study the dynamics of clusters of Active Brownian Disks generated by Motility-Induced Phase Separation, by applying an algorithm that we devised to track cluster trajectories. W…

Hydrodynamic effects on the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids

Giuseppe Negro, Claudio Basilio Caporusso, Pasquale Digregorio +3

We study numerically the role of hydrodynamics in the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids at intermediate activity, where motility induced phase separation (MIPS) does not…

Motility-Induced Microphase and Macrophase Separation in a Two-Dimensional Active Brownian Particle System

Claudio B. Caporusso, Pasquale Digregorio, Demian Levis +2

As a result of nonequilibrium forces, purely repulsive self-propelled particles undergo macrophase separation between a dense and a dilute phase. We present a thorough study of the…
