Abstract:

In everyday life, there are many examples of systems which undergo disorder to 
order transitions.  Some common examples are the freezing/melting point of 
water and the magnetic alignment of magnetic media including those used for 
hard drives.  As an example of disorder to order transitions, I will present 
the results of extensive computer simulations of Br electrodeposited onto 
silver single crystals.  No prior knowledge of such systems or phenomena will 
be assumed, and I will present a variety of scientific visualizations on the 
CSIT Powerwall.  The Powerwall component will include an experimental 
interface being developed at CSIT by Gordon Erlebacher using a PDA with 
wireless ethernet connection.  The use of scientific visualization to better 
understand simulations of physical effects will be demonstrated throughout.
