The unique aspect of this research is that our individual spinning particles do not have an imposed rotation-orientation distribution, and they are dynamically tunable through combined electrokinetic effects. We analyze both the single-particle behaviour and the collective dynamics over a range of packing densities and concentrations, to identify basic parameters that influence motion and interactions. Our findings demonstrate the effects of packing density and activity in this active particle system, and reveal both fundamental dynamics and intricate phenomena such as cluster formation and spin-spin correlations.Show less
