Reentrant phase behavior in binary topological flocks with nonreciprocal alignment
Tian Tang, Yu Duan, Yu-qiang Ma
We study a binary metric-free Vicsek model involving two species of self-propelled particles aligning with their Voronoi neighbors, focusing on a weakly nonreciprocal regime, where…
Breakdown of Ergodicity and Self-Averaging in Polar Flocks with Quenched Disorder
Yu Duan, Benoît Mahault, Yu-qiang Ma +2
We show that spatial quenched disorder affects polar active matter in ways more complex and far-reaching than believed heretofore. Using simulations of the 2D Vicsek model subjecte…
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…
Fore-aft asymmetric flocking
Qiu-shi Chen, Aurelio Patelli, Hugues Chaté +2
We show that fore-aft asymmetry, a generic feature of living organisms and some active matter systems, can have a strong influence on the collective properties of even the simplest…
Deterministic endless collective evolvement in active nematics
Xia-qing Shi, Yu-qiang Ma
We propose a simple deterministic dynamic equation and reveal the mechanism of large-scale endless evolvement of spatial density inhomogeneity in active nematic. We determine the p…
Effective Attraction Interactions between Like-charge Macroions Bound to Binary Fluid Lipid Membranes
Xia-qing Shi, Yu-qiang Ma
Using integral equation theory of liquids to a binary mixed fluid lipid membrane, we study the membrane-mediated interactions between the macroions and the redistribution of neutra…
