We study a granular gas of viscoelastic particles (kinetic energy loss upon collision is a function of the particles relative velocities at impact) subject to a stochastic thermostat. We show that the system displays anomalous cooling and heating rates during thermal relaxation processes, this causing the emergence of thermal memory. In particular, a significant textit{Mpemba effect} is present; i.e., an initially hotter/cooler granular gas can cool down/heat up faster than an in comparison cooler/hotter granular gas. Moreover, a textit{Kovacs effect} is also observed; i.e., a non-monotonic relaxation of the granular temperature --if the gas undergoes certain sudden temperature changes before fixing its value. Our results show that both memory effects have distinct features, very different and eventually opposed to those reported in theory for granular fluids under simpler collisional models. We study our system via three independent methods: approximate solution of the kinetic equation time evolution and computer simulations (both molecular dynamics simulations and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method), finding good agreement between them.

We analyze the dynamics of an active tracer particle embedded in a thermal lattice gas. All particles are subject to exclusion up to third nearest neighbors on the square lattice, which leads to slow dynamics at high densities. For the case with no r otational diffusion of the tracer, we derive an analytical expression for the resulting drift velocity v of the tracer in terms of non-equilibrium density correlations involving the tracer particle and its neighbors, which we verify using numerical simulations. We show that the properties of the passive system alone do not adequately describe even this simple system of a single non-rotating active tracer. For large activity and low density, we develop an approximation for v. For the case where the tracer undergoes rotational diffusion independent of its neighbors, we relate its diffusion coefficient to the thermal diffusion coefficient and v. Finally we study dynamics where the rotation of the tracer is limited by the presence of neighboring particles. We find that the effect of this rotational locking may be quantitatively described in terms of a reduction of the rotation rate.

The nano-particle systems under theoretically and experimentally investigation because of the potential applications in the nano-technology such as drug delivery, ferrofluids mechanics, magnetic data storage, sensors, magnetic resonance imaging, and cancer therapy. Recently, it is reported that interacting nano-particles behave as spin-glasses and experimentally show that the relaxation of these systems obeys stretched exponential i.e., KWW relaxation. Therefore, in this study, considering the interacting nano-particle systems we model the relaxation and investigate frequency and temperature behaviour depends on slow relaxation by using a simple operator formalism. We show that relaxation deviates from Debye and obeys to KWW in the presence of the memory effects in the system. Furthermore, we obtain the frequency and temperature behaviour depend on KWW relaxation. We conclude that the obtained results are consistent with experimental results and the simple model, presented here, is very useful and pedagogical to discuss the slow relaxation of the interacting nano-particles.
We perform micro-rheological experiments with a colloidal bead driven through a viscoelastic worm-like micellar fluid and observe two distinctive shear thinning regimes, each of them displaying a Newtonian-like plateau. The shear thinning behavior at larger velocities is in qualitative agreement with macroscopic rheological experiments. The second process, observed at Weissenberg numbers as small as a few percent, appears to have no analog in macro rheological findings. A simple model introduced earlier captures the observed behavior, and implies that the two shear thinning processes correspond to two different length scales in the fluid. This model also reproduces oscillations which have been observed in this system previously. While the system under macro-shear seems to be near equilibrium for shear rates in the regime of the intermediate Newtonian-like plateau, the one under micro-shear is thus still far from it. The analysis suggests the existence of a length scale of a few micrometres, the nature of which remains elusive.
We analyse the dynamical evolution of a fluid with non-linear drag, for which binary collisions are elastic, at the kinetic level of description. When quenched to low temperatures, the system displays a really complex behaviour. The glassy response o f the system is controlled by a long-lived non-equilibrium state, and includes non-exponential, algebraic, relaxation and strong memory effects in the time evolution of its kinetic temperature. Moreover, the observed behaviour is universal, in the sense that the time evolution of the temperature -- for both relaxation and memory effects -- falls onto a master curve, regardless of the details of the experiment. Our theoretical predictions are checked against simulations of the kinetic equation, and an excellent agreement is found.
We experimentally study the dynamics of active particles (APs) in a viscoelastic fluid under various geometrical constraints such as flat walls, spherical obstacles and cylindrical cavities. We observe that the main effect of the confined viscoelasti c fluid is to induce an effective repulsion on the APs when moving close to a rigid surface, which depends on the incident angle, the surface curvature and the particle activity. Additionally, the geometrical confinement imposes an asymmetry to their movement, which leads to strong hydrodynamic torques, thus resulting in detention times on the wall surface orders of magnitude shorter than suggested by thermal diffusion. We show that such viscoelasticity-mediated interactions have striking consequences on the behavior of multi-AP systems strongly confined in a circular pore. In particular, these systems exhibit a transition from liquid-like behavior to a highly ordered state upon increasing their activity. A further increase in activity melts the order, thus leading to a re-entrant liquid-like behavior.
