The Kovacs memory effect in a thin granular layer: experimental evidence and its physical origin
Francisco Vega Reyes, Ãlvaro RodrÃguez-Rivas, Pablo Maynar +1
We report the experimental observation of memory effects in a vertically vibrated thin granular layer. Following a quench in the input acceleration, the granular temperature exhibi…

Cooling mechanism controls motility-induced phase separation in inertial active liquids
Manuel Mayo, Lorenzo Caprini, MarÃa Isabel GarcÃa de Soria +4
Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is a central collective phenomenon in active matter, theoretically established in the overdamped regime. We discover that the dynamical ori…

Self-diffusion in confined systems
Manuel Mayo, MarÃa Isabel GarcÃa de Soria, Pablo Maynar +1
The self-diffusion process of a hard sphere fluid confined by two parallel plates separated by a distance on the order of the particle diameter is studied. The starting point is a…
