Phase Separation, Edge Currents, and Hall Effect for Active Matter with Magnus Dynamics

We examine run and tumble disks in two-dimensional systems where the particles also have a Magnus component to their dynamics. For increased activity, we find that the system forms a motility-induced phase-separated (MIPS) state with chiral edge flow around the clusters, where the direction of the current is correlated with the sign of the Magnus term. The stability of the MIPS state is non-monotonic as a function of increasing Magnus term amplitude, with the MIPS region first extending down to lower activities followed by a break up of MIPS at large Magnus amplitudes into a gel-like state. We examine the dynamics in the presence of quenched disorder and a uniform drive, and find that the bulk flow exhibits a drive-dependent Hall angle. This is a result of the side jump effect produced by scattering from the pinning sites, and is similar to the behavior found for skyrmions in chiral magnets with quenched disorder.

Motility Induced Phase Separation and Frustration in Active Matter Swarmalators

We introduce a system of active matter swarmalators composed of elastically interacting run-and-tumble active disks with an internal phase $ϕ_i$. The disks experience an additional attractive or repulsive force with neighboring disks depending upon their relative difference in $ϕ_i$. In the absence of the internal phase, the system forms a Motility-Induced Phase Separated (MIPS) state, but when the swarmalator interactions are present, a wide variety of other active phases appear depending upon whether the interaction is attractive or repulsive and whether the particles act to synchronize or anti-synchronize their internal phase values. These include a gas-free gel regime, arrested clusters, a labyrinthine state, a regular MIPS state, a frustrated MIPS state for attractive anti-synchronization, and a superlattice MIPS state for attractive synchronization.
