Etienne Fodor: Self-propelled particles as an active matter system
In the realm of active matter, the particles’ motion is driven by external energy sources. Self-propulsion alone, which occurs in many experimental realizations, leads to a rich phenomenology that cannot be accounted for by equilibrium physics arguments. A striking example is the possibility for repulsive particles to phase separate (attached picture). On a specific model of self-propelled particles, I will explore how far from equilibrium its dynamics operate. I will also show that some concepts inherited from equilibrium physics may nevertheless have their say.
