Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles
We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

Mechanical theory of nonequilibrium coexistence and motility-induced phase separation
Nonequilibrium phase transitions are routinely observed in both natural and synthetic
systems. The ubiquity of these transitions highlights the conspicuous absence of a general …

Microscopic origins of the swim pressure and the anomalous surface tension of active matter
The unique pressure exerted by active particles—the “swim” pressure—has proven to be a
useful quantity in explaining many of the seemingly confounding behaviors of active …

Active phase separation: new phenomenology from non-equilibrium physics
In active systems, whose constituents have non-equilibrium dynamics at local level, fluid-
fluid phase separation is widely observed. Examples include the formation of membraneless …

Time-reversal symmetry breaking in two-dimensional nonequilibrium viscous fluids
We study the rheological signatures of departure from equilibrium in two-dimensional
viscous fluids with and without internal spin. Under the assumption of isotropy, we provide …

Inertial effects on trapped active matter
LL Gutierrez-Martinez, M Sandoval - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, the dynamics of inertial (mass and moment of inertia) active Brownian particles
trapped in a harmonic well is studied. This scenario has seen success when characterizing …

Hydrodynamics of simple active liquids: the emergence of velocity correlations
We derive the hydrodynamics for a system of N active, spherical, underdamped particles,
interacting through conservative forces. At the microscopic level, we represent the evolution …
