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…
Gas permeation through a polymer network
B. Schmittmann, Manoj Gopalakrishnan, R. K. P. Zia
We study the diffusion of gas molecules through a two-dimensional network of polymers with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The polymers are modeled as non-interacting random w…
