Abstract:We study phase behaviors of mixtures comprising active particles with and without active reorientation by varying mixing ratios. We observe that the order parameter characterizing flocking in the steady state exhibits a linear decrease with the increase of mixing ratio. While the order parameter characterizing clustering in the steady state presents a sharp leap as the mixing ratio increases. Particularly, we obtain phase diagrams of flocking under different mixing ratios and observe that the domain correspond… Show more
