Origin of Persistent Boundary Motion in Confined Active Matter
Elsa Baby, Manoj Gopalakrishnan, Vishwas V. Vasisht
Active matter systems under confinement display persistent surface motion and a strong boundary affinity. However, despite extensive studies of their positional dynamics, much less…
Active particles in power-law potentials: steady state distributions and shape transitions
Abhik Samui, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
We study the stationary states of an active Brownian particle (ABP) and run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in two dimensional power-law potentials, in the limit where translational diff…
Curvature dependent dynamics of a bacterium confined in a giant unilamellar vesicle
Olivia Vincent, Aparna Sreekumari, Manoj Gopalakrishnan +2
We investigate the positional behavior of a single bacterium confined within a vesicle by measuring the probability of locating the bacterium at a certain distance from the vesicle…
Stationary states of an active Brownian particle in a harmonic trap
Urvashi Nakul, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
We study the stationary states of an over-damped active Brownian particle (ABP) in a harmonic trap in two dimensions, via mathematical calculations and numerical simulations. In ad…
Detection of sub-degree fluctuations of the local cellmembrane slope using optical tweezers
Rahul Vaippully, Vaibavi Ramanujan, Manoj Gopalakrishnan +2
Normal thermal fluctuations of the cell membrane have been studied extensively using high resolution microscopy and focused light, particularly at the peripheral regions of a cell.…
A path-integral formulation of the run and tumble motion and chemotaxis in Escherichia coli
C. S. Renadheer, Ushasi Roy, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli move about in a series of runs and tumbles: while a run state (straight motion) entails all the flagellar motors spinning in counterclockwise mode…
