Disordered systems

Disordered systems refer to materials or structures lacking regular, repeating patterns in their arrangement, such as liquids, glasses, or certain complex alloys. Unlike crystalline solids with orderly lattices, disordered systems have particles or components organized randomly. This randomness affects their physical properties, like electrical conductivity or strength, making them behave differently from well-ordered materials. These systems are important in understanding materials that do not form perfect crystals, and they present unique challenges and opportunities in fields like materials science, physics, and engineering.
