Theory of Nonequilibrium Crystallization and the Phase Diagram of Active Brownian Spheres
Daniel Evans, Ahmad K. Omar
The crystallization of hard spheres at equilibrium is perhaps the most familiar example of an entropically-driven phase transition. In recent years, it has become clear that activi…

Theory of Nonequilibrium Coexistence with Coupled Conserved and Nonconserved Order Parameters
Daniel Evans, Ahmad K. Omar
Phase separation routinely occurs in both living and synthetic systems. These phases are often complex and distinguished by features including crystallinity, nematic order, and a h…

Theory of Nonequilibrium Multicomponent Coexistence
Yu-Jen Chiu, Daniel Evans, Ahmad K. Omar
Multicomponent phase separation is a routine occurrence in both living and synthetic systems. Thermodynamics provides a straightforward path to determine the phase boundaries that…
