Abstract

Many natural and man-made materials exhibit structure on more than one length scale; in some materials, the structural elements themselves have structure. This structural hierarchy can play a large part in determining the bulk material properties. Understanding the effects of hierarchical structure can guide the synthesis of new materials with physical properties that are tailored for specific applications.
