Collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive matter under alternating excitation patterns
Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Raúl Cruz Hidalgo +1
We present experiments on the collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive self-propelled particles subjected to spatiotemporally varying excitation. The particles move within an…

Cluster dynamics in macroscopic photoactive particles
Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Hartmut Löwen +2
We present an experimental study on the collective behavior of macroscopic self-propelled particles that are externally excited by light. This property allows testing the system re…

Transverse vortices induced by modulated granular shear flows of elongated particles
Sára Lévay, Philippe Claudin, Ellák Somfai +1
We perform discrete element method (DEM) simulations of elongated grains in a shear cell for various particle aspect ratios and contact frictions, with an additional heterogeneous…
