A microscopic field theoretical approach for binary mixtures of active and passive particles
Francesco Alaimo, Axel Voigt
We consider a phase field crystal modeling approach for binary mixtures of interacting active and passive particles. The approach allows to describe generic properties for such sys…

Curvature controlled defect dynamics in topological active nematics
Francesco Alaimo, Christian Köhler, Axel Voigt
We study the spatiotemporal patterns that emerge when an active nematic film is topologically constraint. These topological constraints allow to control the non-equilibrium dynamic…
