Non-equilibrium phase coexistence in conserved chemically active mixtures
Florian RaÃhofer, Erwin Frey
Chemical activity is known to affect phase coexistence and coarsening in liquid mixtures, most commonly through reaction-induced changes of intermolecular interactions. Here, we an…

Local composition controls pattern formation in conserved active emulsions
Florian RaÃhofer, Erwin Frey
Phase separation in passive systems leads to uncontrolled droplet growth, limiting structural control in soft materials and cells. We identify a generic mechanism to arrest coarsen…

Capillary wave formation in conserved active emulsions
Florian RaÃhofer, Simon Bauer, Alexander Ziepke +2
The dynamics of phase-separated interfaces shape the behavior of both passive and active condensates. While surface tension in equilibrium systems minimizes interface length, non-e…
