Activity-induced phase separation and self-assembly in mixtures of active and passive particles.
We investigate the phase behavior and kinetics of a monodisperse mixture of active (i.e., self-propelled) and passive isometric Brownian particles through Brownian dynamics simulations and theory. As in a purely active system, motility of the active component triggers phase separation into a dense and a dilute phase; in the dense phase, we further find active-passive segregation, with "rafts" o...
متن کاملContinuum theory of phase separation kinetics for active Brownian particles.
Active Brownian particles (ABPs), when subject to purely repulsive interactions, are known to undergo activity-induced phase separation broadly resembling an equilibrium (attraction-induced) gas-liquid coexistence. Here we present an accurate continuum theory for the dynamics of phase-separating ABPs, derived by direct coarse graining, capturing leading-order density gradient terms alongside an...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations of phase separation in chemically reactive binary mixtures.
We present Monte Carlo simulations of a binary mixture simultaneously undergoing spinodal decomposition and the chemical reaction A — B. The competing processes give rise to novel, steady-state pattern formation with domain size scaling with reaction rate to a power, s, which equals the domain growth exponent, a, in the absence of chemical reactions. Our findings support recent numerical simula...
متن کاملCollective surfing of chemically active particles.
We study theoretically the collective dynamics of immotile particles bound to a 2D surface atop a 3D fluid layer. These particles are chemically active and produce a chemical concentration field that creates surface-tension gradients along the surface. The resultant Marangoni stresses create flows that carry the particles, possibly concentrating them. For a 3D diffusion-dominated concentration ...
متن کاملControlling transport in mixtures of interacting particles using Brownian motors.
An outstanding open problem in nanoscience is how to control the motion of tiny particles. Ratchetlike devices, inspired by biological motors, have been proposed as a way to achieve this goal. However, the net directed transport is almost suppressed if the diffusing particles are weakly coupled to the underlying spatially asymmetric substrate. Here we show how adding particles of an auxiliary s...
