Run-and-tumble particle in one-dimensional confining potentials: Steady-state, relaxation, and first-passage properties

A Dhar, A Kundu, SN Majumdar, S Sabhapandit… - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle subjected to confining
potentials of the type V (x)= α| x| p, with p> 0. The noise that drives the particle dynamics is …

Active Brownian motion in two dimensions

U Basu, SN Majumdar, A Rosso, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
We study the dynamics of a single active Brownian particle (ABP) in two spatial dimensions.
The ABP has an intrinsic timescale DR− 1 set by the rotational diffusion constant DR. We …

Long-time position distribution of an active Brownian particle in two dimensions

U Basu, SN Majumdar, A Rosso, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We study the late-time dynamics of a single active Brownian particle in two dimensions with
speed v 0 and rotation diffusion constant DR. We show that at late times t≫ DR− 1, while the …

Intermediate scattering function of an anisotropic active Brownian particle

C Kurzthaler, S Leitmann, T Franosch - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Various challenges are faced when animalcules such as bacteria, protozoa, algae, or
sperms move autonomously in aqueous media at low Reynolds number. These active …

A first-order dynamical transition in the displacement distribution of a driven run-and-tumble particle

G Gradenigo, SN Majumdar - Journal of Statistical Mechanics …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the probability distribution P (XN= X, N) of the total displacement XN of an N-step
run and tumble particle on a line, in the presence of a constant nonzero drive E. While the …

Active Brownian motion with directional reversals

I Santra, U Basu, S Sabhapandit - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
Active Brownian motion with intermittent direction reversals is common in bacteria like
Myxococcus xanthus and Pseudomonas putida. We show that, for such a motion in two …

The random walk of intermittently self-propelled particles

A Datta, C Beta, R Großmann - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.15277, 2024 - arxiv.org
Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of
intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two …

Direction reversing active Brownian particle in a harmonic potential

I Santra, U Basu, S Sabhapandit - Soft Matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
We study the two-dimensional motion of an active Brownian particle of speed v0, with
intermittent directional reversals in the presence of a harmonic trap of strength μ. The …

A comparative study between two models of active cluster crystals

L Caprini, E Hernández-García, C López… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
We study a system of active particles with soft repulsive interactions that lead to an active
cluster-crystal phase in two dimensions. We use two different modelizations of the active …

Resonant diffusion of a gravitactic circle swimmer

O Chepizhko, T Franosch - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We investigate the dynamics of a single chiral active particle subject to an external torque
due to the presence of a gravitational field. Our computer simulations reveal an arbitrarily …
