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…
