Title: Emergent ultra–long-range interactions between active particles in hybrid active–inactive systems

Abstract

Significance Particle–particle interactions determine the state of a system. Control over the range and magnitude of such interactions is critical for science and technology. Here, we show that active particles experience an emergent ultra–long-range attractive interaction in the presence of a passive medium. The range and magnitude of this interaction are controlled by the elasticity of the medium and the activity of the particles. For the conditions studied here, we have found the range to be as large as 20 particle diameters, which is much larger than the typical interaction range between colloids. This interaction may open up new routes of control between active objects in passive environments and help us to understand the emergent interactions in nonequilibrium (biological) systems.

Aggregation dynamics of active rotating particles in dense passive media

Journal Article Aragones, Juan L. ; Steimel, Joshua P. ; Alexander-Katz, Alfredo - Soft Matter

Active matter systems are able to exhibit emergent non-equilibrium behavior due to activity-induced effective interactions between the active particles. Here we study the aggregation and dynamical behavior of active rotating particles, spinners, embedded in 2D passive colloidal monolayers. Using both experiments and simulations we observe aggregation of active particles or spinners whose behavior resembles classical 2D Cahn–Hilliard coarsening. The aggregation behavior and spinner attraction depend on the mechanical properties of the passive monolayer and the activity of spinners. Spinner aggregation only occurs when the passive monolayer behaves elastically and when the spinner activity exceeds a minimum activity threshold. Interestingly, formore »« less

Elasticity-induced force reversal between active spinning particles in dense passive media

Journal Article Aragones, J. L. ; Steimel, J. P. ; Alexander-Katz, A. - Nature Communications

The self-organization of active particles is governed by their dynamic effective interactions. Such interactions are controlled by the medium in which such active agents reside. Here we study the interactions between active agents in a dense non-active medium. Our system consists of actuated, spinning, active particles embedded in a dense monolayer of passive, or non-active, particles. We demonstrate that the presence of the passive monolayer alters markedly the properties of the system and results in a reversal of the forces between active spinning particles from repulsive to attractive. The origin of such reversal is due to the coupling between themore »« less

Shape-driven, emergent behavior in active particle mixtures

Journal Article Moran, Shannon E. ; Schönhöfer, Philipp W. A. ; Glotzer, Sharon C. - New Journal of Physics

Abstract Active particle systems can vary greatly from one-component systems of spheres to mixtures of particle shapes at different composition ratios. We investigate computationally the combined effect of anisotropy and stoichiometry on the collective behavior of two-dimensional active colloidal mixtures of polygons. We uncover three emergent phenomena not yet reported in active Brownian particle systems. First, we find that mixtures containing hexagons exhibit micro-phase separation with large grains of hexagonal symmetry. We quantify a measurable, implicit ``steric attraction'' between the active particles as a result of shape anisotropy and activity. This calculation provides further evidence that implicit interactions in activemore »« less

Particle anisotropy tunes emergent behavior in active colloidal systems

Journal Article Moran, Shannon E. ; Bruss, Isaac R. ; Schönhöfer, Philipp A. ; ... - Soft Matter

Studies of active particle systems have demonstrated that particle anisotropy can impact the collective behavior of a system, motivating a systematic study. Here, we report a systematic computational investigation of the role of anisotropy in shape and active force director on the collective behavior of a two-dimensional active colloidal system. We find that shape and force anisotropy can combine to produce critical densities both lower and higher than those of disks. Furthermore, we demonstrate that changing particle anisotropy tunes what we define as a “collision efficiency” of inter-particle collisions in leading to motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) of the system.

Long-Range Order in Nanocrystal Assemblies Determines Charge Transport of Films

Journal Article Sainato, Michela ; Shevitski, Brian ; Sahu, Ayaskanta ; ... - ACS Omega

Self-assembly of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) into two-dimensional patterns or three-dimensional (2-3D) superstructures has emerged as a promising low-cost route to generate thin-film transistors and solar cells with superior charge transport because of enhanced electronic coupling between the NCs. Here, we show that lead sulfide (PbS) NCs solids featuring either short-range (disordered glassy solids, GSs) or long-range (superlattices, SLs) packing order are obtained solely by controlling deposition conditions of colloidal solution of NCs. In this study, we demonstrate the use of the evaporation-driven self-assembly method results in PbS NC SL structures that are observed over an area of 1 mm ×more »« less
