Written for researchers in the field with different professional backgrounds, this volume classifies phenomena not by system but rather by the type of competing interactions involved. This allows for a straightforward presentation of the underlying principles and the universal laws governing the behaviour of different systems.Starting with a historical overview 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aPattern formation (Physical sciences) 606 $aSolid state physics 606 $aCritical phenomena (Physics) 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aPattern formation (Physical sciences) 615 0$aSolid state physics. 615 0$aCritical phenomena (Physics) 676 $a530.41 676 $a548 700 $aVedmedenko$b Elena Y$01838191 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020137403321 996 $aCompeting interactions and patterns in nanoworld$94417135 997 $aUNINA
