Encounter with Chaos Self-Organized Hierarchical Complexity in Semiconductor Experiments

Encounter with Chaos Self-Organized Hierarchical Complexity in Semiconductor Experiments / by Joachim Peinke, Jürgen Parisi, Otto E. Rössler, Ruedi Stoop.

Our life is a highly nonlinear process. It starts with birth and ends with death; in between there are a lot of ups and downs. Quite often, we believe that stable and steady situations, probably easy to capture by linearization, are paradisiacal, but already after a short period of everyday routine...
