Row (i): Steady-state snapshots for a–e increasing values of the dimensionless barrier height V. Each colored disc denotes an active Brownian particle (ABP) with the color indicating their cluster-ID, i.e., the index of the cluster they belong to. Row (ii): Zoomed snapshots (indicated by the black squares in row (i)) show the local packing geometry. Row (iii): Zoomed snapshots showing the particle speed, averaged over 100 frames in the steady-state. Parameters: Péclet number Pe = 300rc, packing fraction ϕ = 0.5, spatial periodicity of the potential landscape L = rc and WCA potential strength \(\epsilon =300{r}_{{{{\rm{c}}}}}^{2}\), where rc is the WCA potential distance cutoff.
