Non-equilibrium pathways between cluster morphologies in active phase separation: necking, rupture and cavitation
Liheng Yao, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
We investigate the dynamical pathways of a morphological transition in a two-dimensional active lattice gas undergoing motility-induced phase separation. The transition is between…
Coupling between Phase Separation and Geometry on a Closed Elastic Curve: Free Energy Minimization and Dynamics
Hanchun Wang, Ronojoy Adhikari, Michael E. Cates
We study the free energy and dynamics of a closed elastic filament (a one-dimensional curve in two dimensions) coupled to a scalar concentration field representing, for example, an…
Nonequilibrium nucleation theory for nonconserved fields: from active matter to population dynamics
Michalis Chatzittofi, Noah Ziethen, Cesare Nardini +1
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) describes the formation of a stable phase from a metastable one. In equilibrium systems, it quantifies the free-energy competition between a favor…
Generic nonlocal statistics of the stationary measure in conserved active systems
Filippo De Luca, Michael E. Cates, Cesare Nardini
The stationary measure of equilibrium systems with detailed balance follows a Boltzmann distribution, so that for short-ranged interactions the measure is local, meaning that dista…
Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
Self-propelled particles accumulate on repulsive barriers in so-called active wetting, whose relationship with equilibrium wetting remains unclear. Using an exact (noiseless) hydro…
Hydrodynamic theory of wetting by active particles
Noah Grodzinski, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
The accumulation of self-propelled particles on repulsive barriers is a widely observed feature in active matter. Despite being implicated in a broad range of biological processes,…
