Stabilization of multiarmed spiral waves by circularly polarized electric fields.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of circularly polarized electric fields (CPEFs) on the stability of multiarmed spiral waves is investigated. It is shown that CPEFs can change the period of the multiarmed spirals. The average period is an important quantity of multiarmed spiral and it must be larger than a threshold for stable multiarmed spiral. After a counter-rotating CPEF with suitable amplitude and period is applied, the average period of the multiarmed spiral may increase, which stabilizes the multiarmed spiral.

Wave trains induced by circularly polarized electric fields in cardiac tissues
Clinically, cardiac fibrillation caused by spiral and turbulent waves can be terminated by globally resetting electric activity in cardiac tissues with a single high-voltage electric shock, but it is usually associated with severe side effects. Presently, a promising alternative uses wave emission from heterogeneities induced by a sequence of low-voltage uniform electric field pulses. Neverthel...
متن کاملDrift of spiral waves controlled by a polarized electric field.
The drift behavior of spiral waves under the influence of a polarized electric field is investigated in the light that both the polarized electric field and the spiral waves possess rotation symmetry. Numerical simulations of a reaction-diffusion model show that the drift velocity of the spiral tip can be controlled by changing the polarization mode of the polarized electric field and some inte...
متن کاملUnpinning of rotating spiral waves in cardiac tissues by circularly polarized electric fields
Spiral waves anchored to obstacles in cardiac tissues may cause lethal arrhythmia. To unpin these anchored spirals, comparing to high-voltage side-effect traditional therapies, wave emission from heterogeneities (WEH) induced by the uniform electric field (UEF) has provided a low-voltage alternative. Here we provide a new approach using WEH induced by the circularly polarized electric field (CP...

Ab&act-The dispersion relation for wave propagation in a homogeneous, electrically neutral electron gas subject to crossed static electric and magnetic fields is derived using the coupled Maxwell-Boltzmann-Vlasov equations. The cutoff condition for transverse circularly polarized electromagnetic waves is obtained from the derived dispersion relation. The variation of the cutoff frequency CO,, w...
متن کاملSelection of Multiarmed Spiral Waves in a Regular Network of Neurons
Formation and selection of multiarmed spiral wave due to spontaneous symmetry breaking are investigated in a regular network of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron by changing the excitability and imposing spatial forcing currents on the neurons in the network. The arm number of the multiarmed spiral wave is dependent on the distribution of spatial forcing currents and excitability diversity in the network, ...
