Extreme Spontaneous Deformations of Active Crystals
Xia-qing Shi, Fu Cheng, Hugues Chaté
We demonstrate that two-dimensional crystals made of active particles can experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. Using particles mostly interacting vi…
Data-driven quantitative modeling of bacterial active nematics
He Li, Xia-qing Shi, Mingji Huang +5
Active matter comprises individual units that convert energy into mechanical motion. In many examples, such as bacterial systems and biofilament assays, constituent units are elong…
Instantaneous frequencies in the Kuramoto model
Julio D. da Fonseca, Edson D. Leonel, Hugues Chaté
Using the main results of the Kuramoto theory of globally coupled phase oscillators combined with methods from probability and generalized function theory in a geometric analysis,…
Fluctuation-induced phase separation in metric and topological models of collective motion
David Martin, Hugues Chaté, Cesare Nardini +3
We study the role of noise on the nature of the transition to collective motion in dry active matter. Starting from field theories that predict a continuous transition at the deter…
Clustering and anisotropic correlated percolation in polar flocks
Nikos Kyriakopoulos, Hugues Chaté, Francesco Ginelli
We study clustering and percolation phenomena in the Vicsek model, taken here in its capacity of prototypical model for dry aligning active matter. Our results show that the order-…
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…
