Cooperative Phenomena at the Solid/Liquid Interface — •Katharina Krischer — TU München, Germany

Complex forms of organization are often the result of nonlinear interactions between their basic building blocks. As a consequence, the system's properties cannot be explained by extrapolating knowledge about the molecular structure of the components which build up the system. Rather, in addition, information about their mutual interactions is required.

In the talk I will summarize the current state of understanding of self-organization processes occurring at the electrode|electrolyte interface with emphasis on spatial pattern formation, cooperative phenomena in ensembles of microelectrodes and non-Markovian processes at nanoelectrodes.
