Anomalous cooling and overcooling of active colloids — •Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl and Hartmut Löwen — Institut für Theoretische Physik II: Weiche Materie, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany

The phenomenon that a system at a hot temperature cools faster than at a warm temperature, referred to as the Mpemba effect, has been recently realized for trapped colloids. Here, we investigate the cooling and heating process of a self-propelling active colloid using numerical simulations and theoretical calculations with a model that can directly be tested in experiments. Upon cooling activity induces a Mpemba effect and the active particle escapes an effective temperature description. At the end of the cooling process the notion of temperature is recovered and the system can exhibit even smaller temperatures than its final temperature, a surprising phenomenon which we refer to as activity-induced overcooling.
