Fractals in Surface Science: Scattering and Thermodynamics of Adsorbed Films
Abstract One of the reasons why fractals have received so much interest in the past few years is that they enable one to tackle a notoriously difficult problem in a spectacularly successful way. The problem is the characterization and understanding of strongly disordered systems. Strongly disordered means that disorder exists over many length scales. Indeed, numerous systems of outstanding interest are neither crystalline nor homogeneously (weakly) [10.1] disordered, so that classic concepts like unit cells, Voronoi cells, dislocations, surface steps, etc. are not applicable. The systems we have in mind are porous solids, rough catalyst surfaces, colloidal aggregates, and polymers, to name just a few. Often they are referred to as systems with complex geometry. To fix the ideas for the time being, one may think of them in terms of critical phenomena (percolation clusters, random walks...).
