Informed modeling of disorder

Thesis

Understanding structure is paramount in developing structure-property relationships in all categories of materials, from hard to soft matter. Developing this understanding becomes particularly challenging in the realm of disorder, where the notion of periodicity breaks down. For systems of increasing disorder, the experimental probes of canonical crystallography contain diminishing information content, and traditional methods prove insufficient for structural solution. This thesis uses the...
