拓扑缺陷在活性布朗粒子两阶段熔化和弹性行为中的作用

The role of topological defects in the two-stage melting and elastic behavior of active Brownian particles

Siddharth Paliwal, Marjolein Dijkstra

摘要:

我们发现,在高活性的排斥性的活性布朗粒子的结晶状态熔融成六角状态,但这种转变是不是由所建议的Kosterlitz-Escherless-Halperin-Nelson-Young(KTHNY)理论的束缚位错对的解束缚驱动。在降低密度时,结晶状态熔化成没有任何缺陷的高密度六方晶系。进一步降低密度,位错增殖并在系统中引入塑性,然而保持六角状态,但最终熔化成流体状态。值得注意的是,主动固体的弹性常数等于它们的被动对应物的弹性常数,因为在固体状态下,游动对应力张量的贡献可以忽略不计。活动的唯一影响是稳定的固体状态转移到更高的密度。此外,弹性常数作为密度的函数的不连续性对应于缺陷浓度的变化,而不是固体六角晶系转变。

英文摘要:

We find that crystalline states of repulsive active Brownian particles at high activity melt into a hexatic state but this transition is not driven by an unbinding of bound dislocation pairs as suggested by the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (KTHNY) theory. Upon reducing the density, the crystalline state melts into a high-density hexatic state devoid of any defects. Decreasing the density further, the dislocations proliferate and introduce plasticity in the system, nevertheless maintaining the hexatic state, but eventually melting into a fluid state. Remarkably, the elastic constants of active solids are equal to those of their passive counterparts, as the swim contribution to the stress tensor is negligible in the solid state. The sole effect of activity is that the stable solid regime shifts to higher densities. Furthermore, discontinuities in the elastic constants as a function of density correspond to changes in the defect concentrations rather than to the solid-hexatic transition.
