Physical and biological systems driven out of equilibrium may
spontaneously evolve to form spatial structures. In some systems
molecular constituents may self-assemble to produce complex ordered
structures. This book describes how such pattern formation
processes occur and how they can be modeled. Experimental
observations are used to introduce the diverse systems and
phenomena leading to pattern formation. The physical origins of
various spatial structures are discussed, and models for their
formation are constructed. In contrast to many treatments,
pattern-forming processes in nonequilibrium systems are treated in
a coherent fashion. The book shows how near-equilibrium and
far-from-equilibrium modeling concepts are often combined to
describe physical systems. This inter-disciplinary book can form
the basis of graduate courses in pattern formation and
self-assembly. It is a useful reference for graduate students and
researchers in a number of disciplines, including condensed matter
science, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics,
chemical biophysics, materials science, and engineering.
