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…
Is thermodynamics fundamental?
Michael te Vrugt, Paul Needham, Georg J. Schmitz
It is a common view in philosophy of physics that thermodynamics is a non-fundamental theory. This is motivated in particular by the fact that thermodynamics is considered to be a…
