Messy and Disordered Surfaces
Real-world processes often take place on complex, disordered interfaces. Surface morphology, many-body interactions, and variable energetic landscapes often make it challenging to characterize the dynamics taking place on liquids, self-assembled monolayers, stepped crystal surfaces, and amorphous ices.
