Inferring interactions between active particles using harmonic traps
Arnaud Compagnie, Joscha Mecke, Ivo Buttinoni +1
Quantifying the interactions between active Janus particles remains a challenge that needs to be addressed to describe their collective behaviour. Inspired by a photonic force micr…

Magnetically Assisted Trapping of Passive Colloids by Active Dipolar Chains
Arnaud Compagnie, Nicolas Vandewalle, Eric Opsomer
We investigate a trapping mechanism for passive Brownian particles based on mixtures with self-propelled dipolar colloids. Active dipoles, whose magnetic moment is oriented perpend…
