Abstract

On applying a small bias force, nonequilibrium systems may respond in paradoxical ways such as with giant negative mobility (GNM)—a large net drift opposite to the applied bias, or giant positive mobility (GPM)—an anomalously large drift in the same direction as the applied bias. Such behaviors have been extensively studied in idealized models of externally driven passive inertial particles. Here, we consider a minimal model of a memory-driven active particle inspired from experiments with walking and superwalking droplets, whose equation of motion maps to the celebrated Lorenz system. By adding a small bias force to this Lorenz model for the active particle, we uncover a dynamical mechanism for simultaneous emergence of GNM and GPM in the parameter space. Within the chaotic sea of the parameter space, a symmetric pair of coexisting asymmetric limit cycles separate and migrate under applied bias force, resulting in anomalous transport behaviors that are sensitive to the active particle's memory. Our work highlights a general dynamical mechanism for the emergence of anomalous transport behaviors for active particles described by low-dimensional nonlinear models.

  43. We note that with applied bias force and for small τ, negative steady walking states (Type II) (i.e. in the direction opposite to the applied bias) exist as well. However, we don't classify these as anomalous behaviors since these states exist even for F=0, and furthermore, with increasing F, the magnitude of the negative steady velocity decreases for these states.
