PhD thesis about Phase Transitions In and out of Equilibirum.
This PhD thesis is subdivided into two parts. In the first part we study the dynamics of phase separation on the surface of a spherical particle. By connecting our findings with studies of patchy particles, we consider the implications on self-assembly of many-particle systems. We provide extended information on dynamical density functional theory, the Gaussian Core model and the numerical methods for computations on the surface of a sphere.
In the second part we investigate the isotropic-nematic transition of self-propelled rods in three spatial dimensions. We precisely describe the Brownian dynamics simulation method and its numerical implementation for ellipsoidal Gay-Berne particles.
