Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect
Lucas S. Palacios, Serguei Tchoumakov, Maria Guix +3
Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms o…
Nanorods based on mesoporous silica containing iron oxide nanoparticles as catalytic nanomotors: study of motion dynamics
Rafael Mestre, Núria Cadefau, Ana C. Hortelão +4
Self-propelled particles and, in particular, those based on mesoporous silica, have raised considerable interest due to their potential applications in the environmental and biomed…
Spontaneous polarization and locomotion of an active particle with surface-mobile enzymes
Marco De Corato, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Loai K. E. A. Abdelmohsen +2
We examine a mechanism of locomotion of active particles whose surface is uniformly coated with mobile enzymes. The enzymes catalyze a reaction that drives phoretic flows but their…
Extraction of the propulsive speed of catalytic nano- and micro-motors under different motion dynamics
Rafael Mestre, Lucas S. Palacios, Albert Miguel-López +3
Motion of active particles, such as catalytic micro- and nano-motors, is usually characterized via either dynamic light scattering or optical microscopy. In both cases, speed of pa…
Charge and spin textures of Ising quantum Hall ferromagnet domain walls
Jeroen Danon, Ajit C. Balram, Samuel Sánchez +1
We investigate the charge and spin structures associated with arbitrary smooth polarization textures in Ising (integer) quantum Hall ferromagnets. We consider the case where the tw…
Topographical pathways guide chemical microswimmers
Juliane Simmchen, Jaideep Katuri, William E. Uspal +3
Achieving control over the directionality of active colloids is essential for their use in practical applications such as cargo carriers in microfluidic devices. So far, guidance o…
