Run-and-tumble particles with preferred reorientation

Callum Britton, Ziluo Zhang, Seongjun Han +1

Run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) are canonically modeled with uniform reorientation probabilities, an assumption that breaks down for many biological microswimmers. In this work, we…

An Informational Route to Negative Mobility

Ziluo Zhang, Shigeyuki Komura, Zhihong You

Mobility links an applied force to the resulting motion and is generally positive near equilibrium. Far from equilibrium, however, internal energy input can reverse this response.…

Nonlocal Sensing Drives Hybrid Phase Separation in Brownian Matter

Benchang Wu, Ziluo Zhang, Shutong Guo +2

Matter can organize not only through forces, but also through the information its constituents acquire from their surroundings. Here we use perceptive Brownian particles as a minim…

Microscopic theory of soft run-and-tumble particles

Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Ziluo Zhang, Luca Cocconi +4

Soft, repulsive run-and-tumble particles display emergent effective interactions as they appear to stick to each other in spite of the absence of attractive forces. This effective…

Effective attraction by repulsion

Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Luca Cocconi, Ziluo Zhang +4

Repulsive self-propelled particles tend to cluster, leading to Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). By analogy with equilibrium phase separation, the onset of MIPS has been as…

Fokker-Planck description of an active Brownian particle with rotational inertia

Lingyi Wang, Ziluo Zhang, Zhongqiang Xiong +3

We develop a perturbative framework to calculate the mean-squared displacement (MSD) of active Brownian particles (ABPs) with a finite moment of inertia. Starting from the correspo…

Entropy production of non-reciprocal interactions

Ziluo Zhang, Rosalba Garcia-Millan

Non-reciprocal interactions are present in many systems out of equilibrium. The rate of entropy production is a measure that quantifies the time irreversibility of a system, and th…

Field Theory of Free Run and Tumble Particles in d Dimensions

Ziluo Zhang, Gunnar Pruessner

In this paper, Doi-Peliti field theory is used to describe the motion of free Run and Tumble particles in arbitrary dimensions. After deriving action and propagators, the mean squa…
