Nucleation and time-reversal symmetry breaking in nonconserved scalar field theories
Noah Ziethen, Michalis Chatzittofi, Michael E. Cates +1
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) describes the formation of a stable phase from a metastable one in terms of a single reaction coordinate that corresponds to the radius of a nucle…
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…
Self-phoretic colloids in chiral active fluids
Michalis Chatzittofi, Yuto Hosaka, Andrej Vilfan +1
Autonomous and driven transport in chiral active fluids have been shown to exhibit features that cannot be accommodated within the classical formulation of fluid mechanics, due to…
Mechanical inhibition of dissipation in a thermodynamically consistent active solid
Luca Cocconi, Michalis Chatzittofi, Ramin Golestanian
The study of active solids offers a window into the mechanics and thermodynamics of dense living matter. A key aspect of the non-equilibrium dynamics of such active systems is a me…
Dumbbell dimer dynamics in three-dimensional chiral fluids
Michalis Chatzittofi, Yuto Hosaka
We study the emergent orientational dynamics of a dumbbell dimer -- two asymmetric monomers connected by a linking spring -- in a three-dimensional chiral environment with odd visc…
Mechanistic rules for de novo design of enzymes
Michalis Chatzittofi, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Ramin Golestanian
Enzymes are nano-scale machines that have evolved to drive chemical reactions out of equilibrium in the right place at the right time. Given the complexity and specificity of enzym…
Thermodynamic inference of correlations in nonequilibrium collective dynamics
Michalis Chatzittofi, Ramin Golestanian, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo
The theory of stochastic thermodynamics has revealed many useful fluctuation relations, with the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) being a theorem of major interest. When ma…
Nonlinear response theory of molecular machines
Michalis Chatzittofi, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Ramin Golestanian
Chemical affinities are responsible for driving active matter systems out of equilibrium. At the nano-scale, molecular machines interact with the surrounding environment and are su…
Chirotactic response of microswimmers in fluids with odd viscosity
Yuto Hosaka, Michalis Chatzittofi, Ramin Golestanian +1
Odd viscosity is a property of chiral active fluids with broken time-reversal and parity symmetries. We show that the flow of such a fluid around a rotating axisymmetric body is ex…
Entropy production and thermodynamic inference for stochastic microswimmers
Michalis Chatzittofi, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Ramin Golestanian
The question of characterization of the degree of non-equilibrium activity in active matter systems is studied in the context of a stochastic microswimmer model driven by a chemica…
Topological phase locking in stochastic oscillators
Michalis Chatzittofi, Ramin Golestanian, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo
The dynamics of many nanoscale biological and synthetic systems such as enzymes and molecular motors are activated by thermal noise, and driven out-of-equilibrium by local energy d…
Collective synchronization of dissipatively-coupled noise-activated processes
Michalis Chatzittofi, Ramin Golestanian, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo
A system of two enzymes mechanically coupled to each other in a viscous medium was recently studied, and conditions for obtaining synchronization and an enhanced average rate of th…
