Self-propelled rods exhibit a phase-separated state characterized by the presence of active stresses and the ejection of polar clusters

Weitz, Sebastian Deutsch, Andreas Peruani, Fernando

We study collections of self-propelled rods (SPR) moving in two dimensions for packing fractions less than or equal to 0.3. We find that in the thermodynamical limit the SPR undergo a phase transition between a disordered gas and a novel phase-separated system state. Interestingly, (global) orientational order patterns – contrary to what has...
