Collective dynamics and pair-distribution function of active Brownian ellipsoids
Computer simulations reveal a rich state behavior for active Brownian ellipsoids based on Péclet number and packing density, including cluster formation, local polar order, polar flocks, and disordered states. The study investigates how particle shape influences motility-induced phase separation (MIPS), showing that torque interactions can suppress aggregation or enhance specific ordered phases depending on the anisotropy ratio.
