In addition to a solidlike and gaslike phase observed for high and low densities, a novel cluster phase is reported at intermediate densities. This takes the form of a stationary assembly of dense aggregates—resulting from a permanent dynamical merging and separation of active colloids—whose average size grows with activity as a linear function of the self-propelling velocity. While different possible scenarios can be considered to account for these observations—such as a generic velocity weakening instability recently put forward—we show that the experimental results are reproduced mathematically by a chemotactic aggregation mechanism, originally introduced to account for bacterial aggregation and accounting here for diffusiophoretic chemical interaction between colloidal swimmers.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","oa_version":"Preprint","citation":{"mla":"Theurkauff, I., et al. “Dynamic Clustering in Active Colloidal Suspensions with Chemical Signaling.” Physical Review Letters, vol. 108, no. 26, 268303, American Physical Society , 2012, doi:10.1103/physrevlett.108.268303.","ieee":"I.
