Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

Despite the diversity of materials designated as active matter, virtually all active systems
undergo a form of dynamic arrest when crowding and activity compete, reminiscent of the …

For preventing the spread of epidemics such as the coronavirus disease COVID-19, social
distancing and the isolation of infected persons are crucial. However, existing reaction …

The study of active soft matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing areas of
physics. Field theories, which can be developed either via phenomenological …

Dense suspensions of self-propelled rod-like particles exhibit a fascinating variety of non-
equilibrium phenomena. By means of computer simulations of a minimal model for rigid self …

Monolayers of self-assembled quasi-spherical colloidal particles are essential building
blocks in the field of materials science and engineering. More typically, they are used as a …

Classical density functional theory (DFT) provides an exact variational framework for
determining the equilibrium properties of inhomogeneous fluids. We report a generalization …

Dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) has been successfully derived and applied to
describe on one hand passive colloidal suspensions, including hydrodynamic interactions …

We develop a mesoscopic field theory for the collective nonequilibrium dynamics of
multicomponent mixtures of interacting active (ie, motile) and passive (ie, nonmotile) …
