Anomalous grain dynamics and grain locomotion of odd crystals
Zhi-Feng Huang, Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski +1
Crystalline or polycrystalline systems governed by odd elastic responses are known to exhibit complex dynamical behaviors involving self-propelled dynamics of topological defects w…
A review of active matter reviews
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
In the past years, the amount of research on active matter has grown extremely rapidly, a fact that is reflected in particular by the existence of more than 600 review articles on…
Active pattern formation emergent from single-species nonreciprocity
Zhi-Feng Huang, Michael te Vrugt, Jonas Mayer Martins +2
Nonreciprocal interactions violating Newton's third law are common in a plethora of nonequilibrium situations ranging from predator-prey systems to the swarming of birds and effect…
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…
