Avalanches in active glasses with finite persistence
Roland Wiese, Ezequiel Ferrero, Demian Levis
We numerically investigate the statistics of avalanches in glassy systems of active particles with finite persistence, with and without an externally applied shear. In departing fr…

Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Model for Bacterial Heat Engines
Roland Wiese, Klaus Kroy, Viktor Holubec
We use Brownian dynamics simulations to study a model of a cyclic bacterial heat engine based on a harmonically confined colloidal probe particle in a bath formed by active Brownia…

Modeling the Efficiency and Effective Temperature of Bacterial Heat Engines
Roland Wiese, Klaus Kroy, Viktor Holubec
We present a Brownian dynamics simulation of the bacterial Stirling engine studied by Krishnamurthy et al., Nat. Phys. 12, 1134 (2016). In their experimental setup, an overdamped c…
