On the Concept of “Complexity” in Radiation Physics
Journal of Surface Investigation X-ray Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques, 2022 The concept of “complexity” is considered in relation to radiation processes in condensed matter. It is shown that a combination of such properties as nanoscale, fractality, low dimension, chirality, and hierarchy in combination with high nonequilibrium ...
