Curvature-induced host-mediated polarization of active particles

Giulia Janzen, D. A. Matoz-Fernandez

Polar collective motion commonly arises from alignment interactions, particle anisotropy, or an imposed directional bias. Here we identify a distinct route to polar order that does…

Persistence-Driven Void Formation in Dense Active-Passive Mixtures

Giulia Janzen, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Nuno A. M. Araújo +2

It is well established that dilute active dopants can melt an arrested amorphous solid by enhancing cage breaking and accelerating structural relaxation. Yet it remains unclear whe…

Active Filaments on Curved Surfaces: From Single Filaments to Dilute Suspensions

Giulia Janzen, Euan D. Mackay, Rastko Sknepnek +1

Curvature plays a central organizational role in active polymer dynamics. Using large-scale Langevin-dynamics simulations, we study active semiflexible filaments confined to smooth…

Collective filament wrapping and nested spiral formation in active polydisperse systems

Caterina Landi, Giulia Janzen, Francesco Sciortino +3

We investigate a two-dimensional polydisperse suspension of self-propelled semiflexible filaments and reveal a collective wrapping mechanism that is absent in monodisperse systems.…

Density and inertia effects on two-dimensional active semiflexible filament suspensions

Giulia Janzen, D. A. Matoz-Fernandez

We examine the influence of density on the transition between chain and spiral structures in planar assemblies of active semiflexible filaments, utilizing detailed numerical simula…
