Two-states Brownian particle in a Harmonic Potential
Giovanni Battista Carollo, Giuseppe Gonnella, Daniela Moretti +3
We study the behaviour of a Brownian particle in the overdamped regime in the presence of a harmonic potential, assuming its diffusion coefficient to randomly jump between two dist…
Fluctuation Theorems for Heat exchanges between passive and active baths
Massimiliano Semeraro, Antonio Suma, Giuseppe Negro
In addition to providing general constraints on probability distributions, fluctuation theorems allow to infer essential information on the role played by temperature in heat excha…
Entropy production of active Brownian particles going from liquid to hexatic and solid phases
Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro, Antonio Suma +2
Due to its inherent intertwinement with irreversibility, entropy production is a prime observable to monitor in systems of active particles. In this numerical study, entropy produc…
When Knots are Plectonemes
Fei Zheng, Antonio Suma, Christopher Maffeo +6
The transport of DNA polymers through nanoscale pores is central to many biological processes, from bacterial gene exchange to viral infection. In single-molecule nanopore sensing,…
Unzipping of knotted DNA via nanopore translocation
Antonio Suma, Cristian Micheletti
DNA unzipping by nanopore translocation has implications in diverse contexts, from polymer physics to single-molecule manipulation to DNA-enzyme interactions in biological systems.…
Phase Separation Kinetics and Cluster Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Active Dumbbell Systems
C. B. Caporusso, L. F. Cugliandolo, P. Digregorio +2
Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the phase separation process of a two-dimensional active Brownian dumbbell model. We evaluated the time dependence of th…
