Can the self-propulsion of anisotropic microswimmers be described by using forces and torques?
Borge ten Hagen, Raphael Wittkowski, Daisuke Takagi +3
The self-propulsion of artificial and biological microswimmers (i.e., active colloidal particles) has often been modelled by using a force and a torque entering into the overdamped…
Gravitaxis of asymmetric self-propelled colloidal particles
Borge ten Hagen, Felix Kümmel, Raphael Wittkowski +3
Many motile microorganisms adjust their swimming motion relative to the gravitational field and thus counteract sedimentation to the ground. This gravitactic behavior is often the…
Reply to Comment on "Circular Motion of Asymmetric Self-Propelling Particles"
Felix Kümmel, Borge ten Hagen, Raphael Wittkowski +6
In a Comment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 029801 (2014)] on our Letter on self-propelled asymmetric particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 198302 (2013); arXiv:1302.5787], Felderhof claims tha…
Dynamical clustering and phase separation in suspensions of self-propelled colloidal particles
Ivo Buttinoni, Julian Bialké, Felix Kümmel +3
We study experimentally and numerically a (quasi) two dimensional colloidal suspension of self-propelled spherical particles. The particles are carbon-coated Janus particles, which…
Circular motion of asymmetric self-propelling particles
Felix Kümmel, Borge ten Hagen, Raphael Wittkowski +5
Micron-sized self-propelled (active) particles can be considered as model systems for characterizing more complex biological organisms like swimming bacteria or motile cells. We pr…
Active Brownian Motion Tunable by Light
Ivo Buttinoni, Giovanni Volpe, Felix Kümmel +2
Active Brownian particles are capable of taking up energy from their environment and converting it into directed motion; examples range from chemotactic cells and bacteria to artif…
