Nonreciprocality of a micromachine driven by a catalytic chemical reaction
Kento Yasuda, Shigeyuki Komura
We propose a model that describes cyclic state transitions of a micromachine driven by a catalytic chemical reaction. We consider a mechano-chemical coupling of variables represent…
Autonomous elastic microswimmer
Katsutomo Era, Yuki Koyano, Yuto Hosaka +3
A model of an autonomous three-sphere microswimmer is proposed by implementing a coupling effect between the two natural lengths of an elastic microswimmer. Such a coupling mechani…
Reciprocal microswimmers in a viscoelastic fluid
Kento Yasuda, Mizuki Kuroda, Shigeyuki Komura
We suggest several reciprocal swimming mechanisms that lead to a locomotion only in viscoelastic fluids. The first situation is to have a difference between the two amplitudes of t…
Irreversibility and entropy production of a thermally driven micromachine
Isamu Sou, Yuto Hosaka, Kento Yasuda +1
We discuss the non-equilibrium properties of a thermally driven micromachine consisting of three spheres which are in equilibrium with independent heat baths characterized by diffe…
