Microscopic derivation of the thin film equation using the Mori-Zwanzig formalism
Michael te Vrugt, Leon Topp, Raphael Wittkowski +1
The hydrodynamics of thin films is typically described using phenomenological models whose connection to the microscopic particle dynamics is a subject of ongoing research. Existin…
Ultrasound-propelled nano- and microspinners
Johannes Voß, Raphael Wittkowski
We study nonhelical nano- and microparticles that, through a particular shape, rotate when they are exposed to ultrasound. Employing acoustofluidic computer simulations, we investi…
Inertial self-propelled particles in anisotropic environments
Alexander R. Sprenger, Christian Scholz, Anton Ldov +2
Self-propelled particles in anisotropic environments can exhibit a motility that depends on their orientation. This dependence is relevant for a plethora of living organisms but di…
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…
Pair-distribution function of active Brownian spheres in three spatial dimensions: simulation results and analytical representation
Stephan Bröker, Michael te Vrugt, Julian Jeggle +2
The pair-distribution function, which provides information about correlations in a system of interacting particles, is one of the key objects of theoretical soft matter physics. In…
A colloidal time crystal and its tempomechanical properties
Marina Evers, Raphael Wittkowski
The spontaneous breaking of symmetries is a widespread phenomenon in physics. When time translational symmetry is spontaneously broken, an exotic nonequilibrium state of matter in…
