Stick-slip dynamics in an interleaved system with self-amplified friction

A. Plati, F. Restagno, C. Poulard

Understanding how stick-slip dynamics manifests in diverse physical conditions is a crucial topic in tribology. Although it has been extensively studied in simple frictional config…

Self-assembly of quasicrystals under cyclic shear

Raphaël Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1

We investigate the self-assembly of two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystals driven by cyclic shear, effectively replacing thermal fluctuations with plastic rearrangements. Using…

Enhanced Coalescence in Driven Foams

Alice Requier, Andrea Plati, Emmanuelle Rio +1

External driving leads to the emergence of unique phenomena and properties in soft matter systems. We show that driving quasi-2D foams by mechanical vibration results in significan…

Conservation laws and slow dynamics determine the universality class of interfaces in active matter

Raphaël Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1

While equilibrium interfaces display universal large-scale statistics, interfaces in phase-separated active and driven systems are predicted to belong to distinct non-equilibrium u…

Dynamical and structural properties of an absorbing phase transition: a case study from granular systems

Raphael Maire, Andrea Plati, Frank Smallenburg +1

We investigate the dynamical and structural properties of absorbing phase transitions (APTs) within granular systems. Specifically, we examine a model for vibrofluidized systems of…

Hyperuniform interfaces in non-equilibrium phase coexistence

Raphaël Maire, Leonardo Galliano, Andrea Plati +1

We show that long-wavelength interfacial fluctuations are strongly suppressed in non-equilibrium phase coexistence between bulk hyperuniform systems. Using simulations of three dis…

Non-equilibrium coexistence between a fluid and a hotter or colder crystal of granular hard disks

R. Maire, A. Plati, F. Smallenburg +1

Non-equilibrium phase coexistence is commonly observed in both biological and artificial systems, yet understanding it remains a significant challenge. Unlike equilibrium systems,…

Self-assembly and non-equilibrium phase coexistence in a binary granular mixture

A. Plati, R. Maire, F. Boulogne +3

We report the experimental observation of a square crystalline phase in a vibrated binary mixture of spherical grains. This structure spontaneously forms from a disordered state, c…

Enhancing (quasi-)long-range order in a two-dimensional driven crystal

R. Maire, A. Plati

It has been recently shown that 2D systems can exhibit crystalline phases with long-range translational order showcasing a striking violation of the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner (HMW) t…

Interplay between an absorbing phase transition and synchronization in a driven granular system

R. Maire, A. Plati, M. Stockinger +3

Absorbing phase transitions (APTs) are widespread in non-equilibrium systems, spanning condensed matter, epidemics, earthquakes, ecology, and chemical reactions. APTs feature an ab…
