Self-propelled active particles are inherently out of equilibrium as they collect energy from their surroundings and transform it into directed motion. A recent theoretical study suggests that binary mixtures of active particles with distinct effective diffusion coefficients exhibit dynamical demixing when their diffusion coefficients differ by more than one order of magnitude. Here, we show that this difference may be reduced drastically in the presence of external fields even when the response to the field is the same for both species. We investigate this demixing as a function of the ratio of the diffusion coefficients and discuss the implications of the results for active systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
