Abstract

In electrochemical systems, the range of the spatial coupling through the electric field can vary widely, giving rise to new spatiotemporal phenomena, i.e. the acceleration of fronts. In the axial symmetric electrode arrangement, the non-local coupling can be even negative, giving rise to phenomena typical for an integral constraint, i.e. a rotating wave in a quasi one dimensional, oscillatory system with periodic boundary conditions.

In addition to the more general aspects of spatial coupling in different electrode geometries, the electrodissolution of cobalt into phosphoric acid shows modulated waves in the excitable system.
