Influences of fluxes in nonequilibrium soft matter — •Marco G. Mazza — Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen

The world contains structures at every scale that are produced by nonequilibrium processes. We investigate how fluxes of matter or energy can create states with structural and dynamical properties completely absent in equilibrium systems. We will discuss two recent results in soft matter systems. Firstly, we will show with computer simulations and theory how deformations in the liquid crystals’ orientational fields lead to colloidal self-assembly. Secondly, we discuss by means of experiments and simulations how to rationalize an intriguing nonequilibrium phase separation in driven granular materials without invoking ad hoc equilibrium-like assumptions.
