Random organization in periodically driven systems

L Corte, PM Chaikin, JP Gollub, DJ Pine - Nature Physics, 2008 - nature.com
Understanding self-organization is one of the key tasks for controlling and manipulating the
structure of materials at the micro-and nanoscale. In general, self-organization is driven by …
