Two-Dimensional Active Brownian Particles Crossing a Parabolic Barrier: Transition-Path Times, Survival Probability, and First-Passage Time

Michele Caraglio

We derive an analytical expression for the propagator and the transition path time distribution of a two-dimensional active Brownian particle crossing a parabolic barrier with abso…

Two-Dimensional Active Brownian Particles Crossing a Parabolic Barrier: Finite Rectangular Domain with Absorbing Boundary Conditions

Michele Caraglio

We solve the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two-dimensional active Brownian particle exploring a rectangular domain with absorbing boundary and in the presence of a pa…

Glass transition in colloidal monolayers controlled by light-induced caging

Abolfazl Ahmadirahmat, Michele Caraglio, Vincent Krakoviack +1

We theoretically investigate the glass-transition problem for a quasi-two-dimensional colloidal dense suspension modulated by a one-dimensional periodic external potential as impos…

Mode-coupling theory of the glass transition for a liquid in a periodic potential

Abolfazl Ahmadirahmat, Michele Caraglio, Vincent Krakoviack +1

We derive a microscopic theory for the structural dynamics in the vicinity of the glass transition for a liquid exposed to a one-dimensional periodic potential. The periodic potent…

Transition-path sampling for Run-and-Tumble particles

Thomas Kiechl, Thomas Franosch, Michele Caraglio

We elaborate and validate a generalization of the renowned transition-path-sampling algorithm for a paradigmatic model of active particles, namely the Run-and-Tumble particles. Not…
