Brownian gyration of an inertial ellipsoid (opens in new tab)

Recent studies on Brownian gyration (BG) have focused primarily on spherically symmetric particles under overdamped conditions. To explore BG in the underdamped regime with a spherically asymmetric particle, we investigate the inertial dynamics of a microscopic ellipsoid in a dissipative medium. The particle is confined in a spherically asymmetric trap and simultaneously coupled to two distinct thermal reservoirs. This configuration drives the s...
