ChiTag der Disputation: 27.08.2007Tag der Promotion: 27.08.2007AbstractThe recent studies on pattern formation in systems driven far from thermodynamic equi-librium shed new light on our understanding about self-organization and thus provide anew perspective on a fundamental problem in philosophy and science, i.e. the origin oforder. Furthermore, a better understanding of self-organization may lead to new classesof methods for fabricating ordered structures, which are important in many applications.A brief survey of the experimental study on pattern formation in various types of sys-tems, i.e. fluid systems, chemical reaction di!usion systems, granular media, nonlinearoptical systems and dielectric barrier gas discharge is given in Chapter 1.
