Nonreciprocal Disorder Prevents Zero-Temperature Freezing in a Ferromagnet
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Sarah A. M. Loos
Nonreciprocal interactions underpin diverse nonequilibrium phenomena, yet the effects of quenched nonreciprocity in extended systems remain largely unexplored. We study a Isin…

Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
Self-propelled particles accumulate on repulsive barriers in so-called active wetting, whose relationship with equilibrium wetting remains unclear. Using an exact (noiseless) hydro…

Hydrodynamic theory of wetting by active particles
Noah Grodzinski, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
The accumulation of self-propelled particles on repulsive barriers is a widely observed feature in active matter. Despite being implicated in a broad range of biological processes,…
