摘要:

我们提出了一个大规模的数值研究,辅以实验观察,一个准二维的积极系统的极杆和球形珠限制在两个水平板和激励垂直振动。对于低棒浓度$Φ_r$,随着珠浓度$Φ_b$的增加,我们观察到从各向同性相到均匀群的直接相变。对于高于阈值的$Φ_r$,在实验和模拟中,在无序相和均匀的絮状物之间发生在棒和珠两者中的有序带密集。在可获得的尺寸范围内,我们仅观察到单个条带,其宽度随$Φ_r$增加。在有序状态的深处,我们观察到对称性破缺的“声音”模式和巨大的数字波动。方向相关的声速和波动的标度是一致的场论的植绒的预测,但声音阻尼率显示偏离这样的理论。在非常高的密度下,我们看到相分离成富含棒和富含珠的区域,两者都相干地移动。

英文摘要:

We present a large-scale numerical study, supplemented by experimental observations, of a quasi-two-dimensional active system of polar rods and spherical beads confined between two horizontal plates and energised by vertical vibration. For low rod concentrations $Φ_r$ we observe a direct phase transition, as bead concentration $Φ_b$ is increased, from the isotropic phase to a homogeneous flock. For $Φ_r$ above a threshold value, an ordered band dense in both rods and beads occurs between the disordered phase and the homogeneous flock, in both experiments and simulations. Within the size ranges accessible we observe only a single band, whose width increases with $Φ_r$. Deep in the ordered state, we observe broken-symmetry "sound" modes and giant number fluctuations. The direction-dependent sound speeds and the scaling of fluctuations are consistent with the predictions of field theories of flocking, but sound damping rates show departures from such theories. At very high densities we see phase separation into rod-rich and bead-rich regions, both of which move coherently.
