Isotropic - Nematic Phase Transition of Active Rods — •Felix Winterhalter and Matthieu Marechal — Theroetische Physik I - Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen, Erlangen, Deutschland

The Isotropic - Nematic transition of spherocylinders is a well studied phenomenon. This transition gets modified for spherocylinders with active motion along its orientation axis. We found that for short rods the Isotropic-Nematic transition is shifted to higher packing fractions depending on the velocity.
