Active Brownian particles display self-propelled movement, which can be modelled as arising from a one-body force. Although their interparticle interactions are purely repulsive, for strong self propulsion the swimmers phase separate into dilute and dense phases. We describe in detail a recent theory (Phys. Rev. E 100, 052604 (2019); Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 26802 (2019)) for such motility induced phase-separation. Starting from the continuity equation and the force density balance, the description is based on four superadiabatic contributions to the internal force density. Here the superadiabatic forces are due to the flow in the system and they act on top of the adiabatic forces that arise from the equilibrium free energy. Phase coexistence is described by bulk state functions and agrees quantitatively with Brownian dynamics simulation results from the literature. We describe in detail all analytical steps to fully resolve the spatial and orientational dependence of the one-body density and current. The decomposition into angular Fourier series leads to coupling of total density, polarization and all higher modes. We describe the power functional approach, including the kinematic dependence of the superadiabatic force fields and the quiet life effect that pushes particles from fast to slow regions, and hence induces the phase separation.
Using computer simulations and dynamic mean-field theory, we demonstrate that fast enough rotation of circle active Brownian particles in two dimensions generates a dynamical clustering state interrupting the conventional motility induced phase separ
Phase separation in a low-density gas-like phase and a high-density liquid-like one is a common trait of biological and synthetic self-propelling particles systems. The competition between motility and stochastic forces is assumed to fix the boundary
Frictional forces affect the rheology of hard-sphere colloids, at high shear rate. Here we demonstrate, via numerical simulations, that they also affect the dynamics of active Brownian particles, and their motility induced phase separation. Frictiona
Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that cellular motion can be directed by topographical gradients, such as those resulting from spatial variations in the features of a micropatterned substrate. This phenomenon, known as topotaxis, is espe
We present a numerical study of the phase behavior of repulsively interacting active polar particles that align their active velocities nematically. The amplitude of the active velocity, and the noise in its orientational alignment control the active
