Collective diffusion of anisotropic hard-particle mixtures

Predicting the dynamics of anisotropic mixtures of different species is a challenging theoretical task. We show that Dynamical Density Functional Theory (DDFT), a theory predicting time evolution of the one-particle-density through a free energy functional, can be simplified to a diffusion equation. To quantify the dyn...

Jerky Motion of Active Granular Particles

Abrupt transitions between rest and motion can render the standard Newtonian description -- based on position, velocity, and acceleration -- incomplete, requiring higher-order derivatives such as the jerk, the third time derivative of position. Here, we show that the interplay between activity and dry friction gives ri...
