Diffusion of Chiral Janus Particles in a Sinusoidal Channel

We investigate the transport diffusivity of artificial microswimmers, a.k.a. Janus particles, moving in a sinusoidal channel in the absence of external biases. Their diffusion constant turns out to be quite sensitive to the self-propulsion mechanism and the geometry of the channel compartments. Our analysis thus suggests how to best control the diffusion of active Brownian motion in confined geometries.
