Biaxial nematic order in fundamental measure theory
Anouar El Moumane, Michael te Vrugt, Hartmut Löwen +1
Liquid crystals consisting of biaxial particles can exhibit a much richer phase behavior than their uniaxial counterparts. Usually, one has to rely on simulation results to underst…
Dynamical field theories for biaxial liquid crystals
Anouar El Moumane, René Wittmann, Hartmut Löwen +1
Phase field crystal (PFC) models constitute central tools for a microscopic understanding of the dynamics of complex systems in soft matter physics. They have found widespread appl…
Motility-induced crystallization and rotating crystallites
Max Philipp Holl, Alina Barbar Steinberg, Uwe Thiele
Active soft matter frequently shows motility-induced phase separation (MIPS), where self-propelled particles condensate into clusters with an inner liquid-like structure. Such acti…
A review of active matter reviews
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
In the past years, the amount of research on active matter has grown extremely rapidly, a fact that is reflected in particular by the existence of more than 600 review articles on…
