Phase separation, morphology, and metastability in the three-dimensional active Potts model
We study the three-dimensional active Potts model (APM) on a cubic lattice with 2, 4, and 6 orientational states. The steady-state phase diagrams exhibit low-density gaseous, high-density polar liquid, and liquid--gas coexistence phases, with the phase behavior controlled by density, temperature, and propulsion speed a...
