Active microrheology in corrugated channels
Antonio M. Puertas, Paolo Malgaretti, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
We analyze the dynamics of a tracer particle embedded in a bath of hard spheres confined in a channel of varying section. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations we apply a const…
Stabilization of overlapping biofilaments by passive crosslinkers
Sougata Guha, Subhadip Ghosh, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1
The formation, maintenance and reorganization of the cytoskeletal filament network is essential for a number of cellular processes. While the crucial role played by active forces g…
Velocity alignment promotes motility-induced phase separation
Elena Sese-Sansa, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Demian Levis
We study the phase behavior of polar Active Brownian Particles moving in two-spatial dimensions and interacting through volume exclusion and velocity alignment. We combine particle…
Cell Dynamic Simulations of Diblock Copolymer/Colloid Systems
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei Zvelindovsky +2
The presence of nanoparticles in a diblock copolymer leads to changes in the morphology and properties of the matrix and can produce highly organized hybrid materials. The resultin…
Full phase diagram of active Brownian disks: from melting to motility-induced phase separation
Pasquale Digregorio, Demian Levis, Antonio Suma +3
We establish the complete phase diagram of self-propelled hard disks in two spatial dimensions from the analysis of the equation of state and the statistics of local order paramete…
Activity induced synchronization: From Mutual Flocking to Chiral Self-Sorting
Demian Levis, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Benno Liebchen
Synchronization, the temporal coordination of coupled oscillators, allows fireflies to flash in unison, neurons to fire collectively and human crowds to fall in step on the London…
