We numerically study the escape kinetics of a self-propelled Janus particle, carrying a cargo, from a meta-stable state. We assume that the cargo is attached to the Janus particle by a flexible harmonic spring. We take into account the effect of velocity field, created in the fluid due to movements of dimers components, by considering space-dependent diffusion tensor (Oseen tensor). Our simulation results show that the synchronization between barrier crossing events and rotational relaxation process can enhance escape rate to a large extent. Also, the load carrying capability of a Janus particle is largely controlled by its rotational dynamics and self-propulsion velocity. Moreover, the hydrodynamic interaction, conspicuously, enhances the escape rate of the Janus-cargo dimer. The most of the important features in escape kinetics have been justified based on the analytic arguments.
Active particles with their characteristic feature of self-propulsion are regarded as the simplest models for motility in living systems. The accumulation of active particles in low activity regions has led to the general belief that chemotaxis requi
The Kinesin family of motor proteins are involved in a variety of cellular processes that transport materials and generate force. With recent advances in experimental techniques, such as optical tweezers which can probe individual molecules, there ha
We investigate the hopping dynamics of a colloidal particle across a potential barrier and within a viscoelastic, i.e., non-Markovian bath, and report two clearly separated time scales in the corresponding waiting time distributions. While the longer
The diffusion of an artificial active particle in a two-dimensional periodic pattern of stationary convection cells is investigated by means of extensive numerical simulations. In the limit of large Peclet numbers, i.e., for self-propulsion speeds be
We theoretically study the non-monotonic (re-entrant) activated dynamics associated with a repulsive glass to fluid to attractive glass transition in high density particle suspensions interacting via strong short range attractive forces. The classic
