Dynamical density functional theory for dense odd-diffusive fluids
Iman Abdoli, René Wittmann, Hartmut Löwen
Odd diffusion breaks time-reversal symmetry in overdamped systems through transverse probability currents while preserving equilibrium steady states. In this work, we develop a dyn…
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…
A Hitchhiker's Guide To Active Motion
Tobias Plasczyk, Paul A. Monderkamp, Hartmut Löwen +1
Intelligent decisions in response to external informative input can allow organisms to achieve their biological goals while spending very little of their own resources. In this pap…
Layer topology of smectic grain boundaries
René Wittmann
Grain boundaries in extremely confined colloidal smectics possess a topological fine structure with coexisting nematic and tetratic symmetry of the director field. An alternative w…
