    Abstract We examine changes in the depinning threshold and conduction noise fluctuations for driven Wigner crystals in the presence of quenched disorder. At low temperatures there is a well defined depinning threshold and a strong peak in the noise power with1/fnoise characteristics. At higher temperatures, the depinning threshold shifts to lower drives and the noise, which is also reduced in power, becomes more white in character. At lower temperatures, a washboard frequency appears when the system depins elastically or forms a moving smectic state; however, this washboard signal is strongly reduced for higher temperatures and completely disappears above the melting temperature of a system without quenched disorder. Our results are in good agreement with recent transport and noise studies for systems where electron crystal depinning is believed to arise, and also show how noise can be used to distinguish between crystal, glass, and liquid phases.

    Abstract We numerically model a two-dimensional active nematic confined by a periodic array of fixed obstacles. Even in the passive nematic, the appearance of topological defects is unavoidable due to planar anchoring by the obstacle surfaces. We show that a vortex lattice state emerges as activity is increased, and that this lattice may be tuned from "ferromagnetic" to "antiferromagnetic" by varying the gap size between obstacles. We map the rich variety of states exhibited by the system as a function of distance between obstacles and activity, including a pinned defect state, motile defects, the vortex lattice, and active turbulence. We demonstrate that the flows in the active turbulent phase can be tuned by the presence of obstacles, and explore the effects of a frustrated lattice geometry on the vortex lattice phase.

    Abstract The ability of bacteria to adhere to each other and both biotic and abiotic surfaces is key to biofilm formation, and one way that bacteria adhere is using fibrillar adhesins. Fibrillar adhesins share several key characteristics, including (i) they are extracellular, surface-associated proteins, (ii) they contain an adhesive domain as well as a repetitive stalk domain, and (iii) they are either a monomer or homotrimer (i.e., identical, coiled-coil) of a high molecular weight protein. Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the fibrillar adhesin called CdrA to promote bacterial aggregation and biofilm formation. Here, the current literature on CdrA is reviewed, including its transcriptional and posttranslational regulation by the second messenger c-di-GMP as well as what is known about its structure and ability to interact with other molecules. I highlight its similarities to other fibrillar adhesins and discuss open questions that remain to be answered toward a better understanding of CdrA.

    Abstract We examine the collective dynamics of disks moving through a square array of obstacles under cyclic square wave driving. Below a critical density, we find that the system organizes into a reversible state in which the disks return to the same positions at the end of every drive cycle. Above this density, the dynamics are irreversible and the disks do not return to the same positions after each cycle. The critical density depends strongly on the angle θ between the driving direction and a symmetry axis of the obstacle array, with the highest critical densities appearing at commensurate angles such as θ = 0° and θ = 45° and the lowest critical densities falling at θ = arctan (0.618), the inverse of the golden ratio, where the flow is the most degenerate. As the density increases, the number of cycles required to reach a reversible state grows as a power law with an exponent near ν = 1.36, similar to what is found in periodically driven colloidal and superconducting vortex systems.

    Abstract We introduce a two dimensional system of active matter swarmalators composed of elastically interacting run-and-tumble active disks with an internal parameter ϕ_{i}. The disks experience an additional attractive or repulsive force with neighboring disks depending upon their relative difference in ϕ_{i}, making them similar to swarmalators used in robotic systems. In the absence of the internal parameter, 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 ant-synchronize their internal parameter values. These phases include a gas-free gel regime, arrested clusters, a labyrinthine state, a regular MIPS state, a frustrated MIPS state for attractive antisynchronization, and a superlattice MIPS state for attractive synchronization.

    Abstract We examine an assembly of repulsive disks interacting with a random obstacle array under a periodic drive and find a transition from reversible to irreversible dynamics as a function of drive amplitude or disk density. At low densities and drives, the system rapidly forms a reversible state where the disks return to their exact positions at the end of each cycle. In contrast, at high amplitudes or high densities, the system enters an irreversible state where the disks exhibit normal diffusion. Between these two regimes, there can be an intermediate irreversible state where most of the system is reversible, but localized irreversible regions are present that are prevented from spreading through the system due to a screening effect from the obstacles. We also find states that we term "combinatorial reversible states" in which the disks return to their original positions after multiple driving cycles. In these states, individual disks exchange positions but form the same configurations during the subcycles of the larger reversible cycle.

    Abstract We examine changes in the depinning threshold and conduction noise fluctuations for driven Wigner crystals in the presence of quenched disorder. At low temperatures there is a well defined depinning threshold and a strong peak in the noise power with $1/f$ noise characteristics. At higher temperatures, the depinning threshold shifts to lower drives and the noise, which is also reduced in power, becomes more white in character. At lower temperatures, a washboard frequency appears when the system depins elastically or forms a moving smectic state; however, this washboard signal is strongly reduced for higher temperatures and completely disappears above the melting temperature of a system without quenched disorder. Our results are in good agreement with recent transport and noise studies for systems where electron crystal depinning is believed to arise, and also show how noise can be used to distinguish between crystal, glass, and liquid phases.

    Abstract We numerically examine the transport of skyrmions driven over weak random quenched disorder using a modified Thiele approach that includes the thermal softening of skyrmion pairwise interactions introduced by Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Appl. 18, 044024 (2022). The depinning transition is elastic at low temperatures but becomes plastic with a reduced threshold at higher temperatures due to the competition between thermal creep and thermal softening, indicating a temperature-induced order to disorder transition into a glass state. The resulting non-monotonic critical depinning forces and crossing of the velocity-force curves are similar to what is observed in the peak effect for type-II superconducting vortex lattices, where the softening of vortex-vortex interactions with temperature leads to an order-disorder transition. For low skyrmion densities the peak effect is absent since the system is always in a disordered state. We map the dynamical phase transition as a function of temperature, density, drive, and materials parameters, and show that the signatures are similar to those of the superconducting peak effect. Our results are consistent with recent experiments.

    Abstract We investigate the topological defect populations for superconducting vortices and magnetic skyrmions on random pinning substrates under driving amplitudes that are swept at different rates or suddenly quenched. When the substrate pinning is sufficiently strong, the system exhibits a nonequilibrium phase transition at a critical drive into a more topologically ordered state. We examine the number of topological defects that remain as we cross the ordering transition at different rates. In the vortex case, the system dynamically orders into a moving smectic, and the Kibble-Zurek scaling hypothesis gives exponents consistent with directed percolation. Due to their strong Magnus force, the skyrmions dynamically order into an isotropic crystal, producing different Kibble-Zurek scaling exponents that are more consistent with coarsening. We argue that in the skyrmion crystal, the topological defects can both climb and glide, facilitating coarsening, whereas in the vortex smectic state, the defects cannot climb and coarsening is suppressed. We also examine pulsed driving across the ordering transition and find that the defect population on the ordered side of the transition decreases with time as a power law, indicating that coarsening can occur across nonequilibrium phase transitions. Our results should be general to a wide class of nonequilibrium systems driven over random disorder where there are well-defined topological defects.

    Abstract Using a minimal continuum model, we investigate the interplay between circular confinement and substrate friction in active nematics. Upon increasing the friction from low to high, we observe a dynamical phase transition from a circulating flow phase to an anisotropic flow phase in which the flow tends to align perpendicular to the nematic director at the boundary. We demonstrate that both the flow structure and dynamic correlations in the latter phase differ from those of an unconfined, active turbulent system and may be controlled by the prescribed nematic boundary conditions. Our results show that substrate friction and geometric confinement act as valuable control parameters in active nematics.
