有源向列相介质中的密度诱导相

Density Induced Phases in Active Nematic

Rakesh Das, Manoranjan Kumar, Shradha Mishra

摘要:

我们引入一个极小模型,研究了二维基底上一系列自推进的非极性活性粒子(也称为“活性向列体”)随密度变化的有序-无序转变。粒子与它们的邻居在Lebwohl-Lasher模型的框架内相互作用,并沿着它们的方向不对称地移动到最近的未被占据的晶格位置。当密度低于平衡态各向同性-带状转变密度时,活性碳发生从各向同性态到带状态的一级转变。带状态在一定的密度范围内延伸,系统的标量序参量表现出类似于磁系统的平台行为。在大密度极限下,激活态表现出介于具有整体有序性的均匀有序态和具有局部有序性的非均匀混合态之间的非线性行为。对上述具有密度变化的阶段的研究很少,并且对许多生物系统的复杂行为提供了重要的见解。

英文摘要:

We introduce a minimal model for a collection of self-propelled apolar active particles, also called as `active nematic', on a two-dimensional substrate and study the order-disorder transition with the variation of density. The particles interact with their neighbours within the framework of the Lebwohl-Lasher model and move asymmetrically, along their orientation, to unoccupied nearest neighbour lattice sites. At a density lower than the equilibrium isotropic-nematic transition density, the active nematic shows a first order transition from the isotropic state to a banded state. The banded state extends over a range of density, and the scalar order parameter of the system shows a plateau like behaviour, similar to that of the magnetic systems. In the large density limit the active nematic shows a bistable behaviour between a homogeneous ordered state with global ordering and an inhomogeneous mixed state with local ordering. The study of the above phases with density variation is scant and gives significant insight of complex behaviours of many biological systems.
