A microscopic field theoretical approach for active systems

A microscopic field theoretical approach for active systems

We consider a microscopic modeling approach for active systems. The approach extends the phase field crystal (PFC) model and allows us to describe generic properties of active systems within a continuum model. The approach is validated by reproducing results obtained with corresponding agent-based a...
