Dynamical Sub-classes of Dry Active Nematics
Li-bing Cai, Hugues Chaté, Yu-qiang Ma +1
We show that the dominant mode of alignment plays an important role in dry active nematics,leading to two dynamical sub-classes defined by the nature of the instability of the nema…

Self-Propelled Rods: Linking Alignment-Dominated and Repulsion-Dominated Active Matter
Xia-qing Shi, Hugues Chaté
We study a robust model of self-propelled rods interacting via volume exclusion and show that its collective dynamics encompasses both that of the corresponding Vicsek-style model…

Active Matter Class with Second-Order Transition to Quasi-Long-Range Polar Order
B. Mahault, X. -c. Jiang, E. Bertin +4
We introduce and study in two dimensions a new class of dry, aligning, active matter that exhibits a direct transition to orientational order, without the phase-separation phenomen…
