2D structures (surface particles)

Particles deposited on a surface or interface. The interference function defines how scattering from multiple particles combines.

For dilute distributions, particles scatter independently. For ordered or partially ordered systems, interference functions describe the spatial correlations.

Disordered particles

For uncorrelated particles on a surface:

Ordered structures

For particles with spatial correlations, use structured layouts:

  • Regular lattice: Particles at periodic positions
  • Paracrystal: Short-range order with cumulative disorder
