Effect of Persistent Noise on the XY Model and Two-Dimensional Crystals
Xia-qing Shi, Hugues Chaté
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals made of active particles were shown recently to be able to experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. The root of this pheno…

Extreme Spontaneous Deformations of Active Crystals
Xia-qing Shi, Fu Cheng, Hugues Chaté
We demonstrate that two-dimensional crystals made of active particles can experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. Using particles mostly interacting vi…

Small Obstacle in a Large Polar Flock
Joan Codina, Benoît Mahault, Hugues Chaté +3
We show that arbitrarily large polar flocks are susceptible to the presence of a single small obstacle. In a wide region of parameter space, the obstacle triggers counter-propagati…
