自走式硬盘的结晶化:一种新的设想

Crystallization of self-propelled hard-discs : a new scenario

G. Briand, O. Dauchot

摘要:

我们的实验研究的结晶单层的振动盘与内置的极性不对称性,一个模型系统的活性液体,并将其与振动各向同性盘。增加填充分数$ϕ$,各向同性盘报道的准连续结晶被过渡或朝向“自熔”晶体的交叉所取代。增加来自液相的填充分数,致密的六方有序填充盘的簇自发地形成、熔化、分裂和合并,导致高度间歇性和非均质动力学。所得到的稳定状态簇大小分布单调减小。当填充分数大于$ϕ^*$时,几个大的团簇跨越系统尺寸,团簇尺寸分布变得非单调,过渡由幂律签署。然而,该系统从未被动态地捕获。团簇从一个地方永久地熔化到另一个地方,形成活性液体的液滴,其快速地传播穿过系统。这种状态保持到最高可能的堆积分数,质疑晶体对于活性盘的稳定性,除非是有序的紧密堆积。

英文摘要:

We experimentally study the crystallization of a monolayer of vibrated discs with a built-in polar asymmetry, a model system of active liquids, and contrast it with that of vibrated isotropic discs. Increasing the packing fraction $ϕ$, the quasi-continuous crystallization reported for isotropic discs is replaced by a transition, or a crossover towards a "self-melting" crystal. Increasing the packing fraction from the liquid phase, clusters of dense hexagonally-ordered packed discs spontaneously form, melt, split and merge leading to a highly intermittent and heterogeneous dynamics. The resulting steady state cluster size distribution decreases monotonically. For packing fraction larger than $ϕ^*$, a few large clusters span the system size and the cluster size distribution becomes non monotonic, the transition being signed by a power-law. The system is however never dynamically arrested. The clusters permanently melt from place to place forming droplets of active liquid which rapidly propagate across the system. This state of affair remains up to the highest possible packing fraction questioning the stability of the crystal for active discs, unless at ordered close packing.
