Ordered collective motion of magnetic swimmers

POSTER

Abstract

We study collective dynamics of systems of active colloids with an experimentally-realizable type of magnetically-induced long-range orientational interaction which can be aligning or anti-aligning. The phase diagram is mapped out as a function of interaction strength and density, showing various regimes of dynamically-stabilized orientational and positional order.
