Disordered Solids

Viac o knihe

The course focused on advancements in understanding disordered solids, emphasizing the need for new theoretical frameworks beyond traditional solid-state physics, which relies on perfect crystal models. It addressed the challenges in describing systems lacking long-range order and highlighted the necessity of innovative physical modeling, mathematical techniques, and experimental methods to grasp their unique properties. The discussions aimed to redefine the scientific approach to these materials, recognizing that disorder introduces fundamentally new phenomena rather than merely perturbations of established models.
