Electric field-induced clustering in nanocomposite films of highly polarizable inclusions
Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut Löwen
A nanocomposite film containing highly polarizable inclusions in a fluid background is explored when an external electric field is applied perpendicular to the planar film. For sma…
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…
Dynamical field theories for biaxial liquid crystals
Anouar El Moumane, René Wittmann, Hartmut Löwen +1
Phase field crystal (PFC) models constitute central tools for a microscopic understanding of the dynamics of complex systems in soft matter physics. They have found widespread appl…
A Hitchhiker's Guide To Active Motion
Tobias Plasczyk, Paul A. Monderkamp, Hartmut Löwen +1
Intelligent decisions in response to external informative input can allow organisms to achieve their biological goals while spending very little of their own resources. In this pap…
Biaxial nematic order in fundamental measure theory
Anouar El Moumane, Michael te Vrugt, Hartmut Löwen +1
Liquid crystals consisting of biaxial particles can exhibit a much richer phase behavior than their uniaxial counterparts. Usually, one has to rely on simulation results to underst…
Steering self-organisation through confinement
Nuno A. M. Araújo, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Thomas Barois +26
Self-organisation is the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures and patterns from the interaction of smaller individual units. Examples are found across many scales in…
