The transition from Brownian to active Brownian motion — •Andreas W. Liehr1,2, Hendrik U. Bödeker2, Svetlana V. Gurevich2, and Hans-Georg Purwins2 — 1Material Research Center Freiburg, Stefan-Meier-Str. 21, D-79104 Freiburg i. Br., Germany — 2University of Münster, Institute of Applied Physics, Corrensstr. 2/4, 48149 Münster, Germany
In this talk we present recent results on Brownian and active Brownian motion in complex systems. On the example of self-organized current filaments in semiconductor-gas-discharge systems we discuss the detection of these different types of motion by means of stochastic time series analysis [1]. Furthermore, we report the transition from Brownian to active Brownian motion due to a change of system parameters. The theoretical discussion of this effect is carried out on basis of a qualitative reaction-diffusion model, which leads to the classification of the observed transition as supercritical drift-bifurcation [2,3].
