Anomalous Mean-Squared Displacement in Quantum Active Matter from a Wigner Phase-Space Framework

Sangyun Lee, Yehor Tuchkov, Alexander P. Antonov +4

Active matter is driven out of equilibrium by a local influx of energy. While classical active matter has been extensively studied, the extension of active matter concepts to quant…

Extended dynamical density functional theory for nonisothermal binary systems including momentum density

Michael te Vrugt, Hartmut Löwen, Helmut R. Brand +1

In order to describe the nonisothermal dynamics of two-phase flows or binary mixtures such as colloidal suspensions consisting of colloidal particles and solvent on a microscopic l…

What exactly is 'active matter'?

Michael te Vrugt, Benno Liebchen, Michael E. Cates

As the study of active matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing subfields of condensed matter physics, more and more kinds of physical systems have been included i…

Anomalous grain dynamics and grain locomotion of odd crystals

Zhi-Feng Huang, Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski +1

Crystalline or polycrystalline systems governed by odd elastic responses are known to exhibit complex dynamical behaviors involving self-propelled dynamics of topological defects w…

Active pattern formation emergent from single-species nonreciprocity

Zhi-Feng Huang, Michael te Vrugt, Jonas Mayer Martins +2

Nonreciprocal interactions violating Newton's third law are common in a plethora of nonequilibrium situations ranging from predator-prey systems to the swarming of birds and effect…

Collective dynamics and pair-distribution function of active Brownian ellipsoids

Stephan Bröker, Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski

While the collective dynamics of spherical active Brownian particles is relatively well understood by now, the much more complex dynamics of nonspherical active particles still rai…

How to derive a predictive active field theory: a step-by-step tutorial

Michael te Vrugt, Jens Bickmann, Raphael Wittkowski

The study of active soft matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing areas of physics. Field theories, which can be developed either via phenomenological consideratio…

Derivation and analysis of a phase field crystal model for a mixture of active and passive particles

Michael te Vrugt, Max Philipp Holl, Aron Koch +2

We discuss an active phase field crystal (PFC) model that describes a mixture of active and passive particles. First, a microscopic derivation from dynamical density functional the…
