摘要：Disordered systems exhibit unique properties that distinguish them from conventional physical systems. These include a lack of overall structural order and symmetry, non-equilibrium behavior in thermodynamics. As a result, traditional physical theories, such as those based on crystal-based solid-state physics, equilibrium statistical physics and phase transitions are inadequate to describe disordered systems. To address these challenges, it is essential to develop new approaches to characterize and understand the properties of disordered systems by uncovering hidden order behind the disorder, particularly those that may not be immediately evident due to the absence of long-range order. In this talk, I will discuss our recent progress on equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transition, and its connection between the structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics of disordered systems. This is important for understanding the behavior of disordered systems, and is critical for establishing a universal theoretical framework for disordered systems.
