Active matter describes systems that convert energy from their environment into directed motion. Therefore, these systems are in intrinsic nonequilibrium, unlike their passive counterparts. From a theoretical point of view, such active systems have been modeled by agent-based models, as well as hydrodynamic approaches, which allowed for the investigation of a wide range of observed collective phenomena characterizing active matter. In this thesis we develop a microscopic field-theoretical approach to describe generic properties of active systems. This description combines the phase field crystal model with a polar order parameter and a self-propulsion term. First, we validate this approach by reproducing results obtained with corresponding ...
