Propagating interfaces in active-passive Brownian particle mixtures
Dr. Adam Wysocki (University of Dusseldorf)
The emergent collective dynamics in phase-separated mixtures of isometric active and passive Brownian particles is studied numerically in two dimensions.
A novel steady-state of well-defined propagating interfaces is observed, where the interface between the dense and the dilute phase propagates and the bulk of both phases is (nearly) at rest.
The propagation arises due to flux imbalance at the interface, resembling the growth behavior of rough surfaces far from equilibrium.
