Generic nonlocal statistics of the stationary measure in conserved active systems
Filippo De Luca, Michael E. Cates, Cesare Nardini
The stationary measure of equilibrium systems with detailed balance follows a Boltzmann distribution, so that for short-ranged interactions the measure is local, meaning that dista…
Active Cahn-Hilliard theory for nonequilibrium phase separation: quantitative macroscopic predictions and a microscopic derivation
Sumeja Bureković, Filippo De Luca, Michael E. Cates +1
Phase-separating active systems can display phenomenology that is impossible in equilibrium. The binodal densities are not solely determined by a bulk (effective) free energy, but…
Hyperuniformity in phase ordering: the roles of activity, noise, and non-constant mobility
Filippo De Luca, Xiao Ma, Cesare Nardini +1
Hyperuniformity emerges generically in the coarsening regime of phase-separating fluids. Numerical studies of active and passive systems have shown that the structure factor …
Supramolecular assemblies in active motor-filament systems: micelles, bilayers, and foams
Filippo De Luca, Ivan Maryshev, Erwin Frey
Active matter systems evade the constraints of thermal equilibrium, leading to the emergence of intriguing collective behavior. A paradigmatic example is given by motor-filament mi…
