Theory of light-activated catalytic Janus particles
W. E. Uspal
We study the dynamics of active Janus particles that self-propel in solution by light-activated catalytic decomposition of chemical "fuel." We develop an analytical model of a phot…

Effective squirmer models for self-phoretic chemically active spherical colloids
M. N. Popescu, W. E. Uspal, Z. Eskandari +2
Various aspects of self-motility of chemically active colloids in Newtonian fluids can be captured by simple models for their chemical activity plus a phoretic slip hydrodynamic bo…
