Formation of Liesegang patterns in an electric field
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolution of Liesegang patterns in an electric field was studied experimentally in the AgNO3/K2Cr2O7/gelatine system. The distance of the last (nth) band as a function of their appearance time can be described by the equation Xn 1⁄4 c1t+ c2t+ c3 . A numerical model, based on Ostwald ’s supersaturation theory, predicted the same functional law. Experiments showed that the ratio of the distances of two consecutive rings, the spacing coefficient, decreases with increasing electric field strength and this behaviour was also reproduced by the numerical model.

Controlling and engineering precipitation patterns.
Controlling and engineering chemical structures are the most important scientific challenges in material science. Precipitation patterns from ions or nanoparticles are promising candidates for designing bulk structure for catalysis, energy production, storage, and electronics. There are only a few procedures and techniques to control precipitation (Liesegang) patterns in gel media (e.g., using ...
متن کاملModels of Liesegang pattern formation
In this article different mathematical models of the Liesegang phenomenon are exhibited. The main principles of modeling are discussed such as supersaturation theory, sol coagulation and phase separation, which describe the phenomenon using different steps and mechanism beyond the simple reaction scheme. We discuss whether the underlying numerical simulations are able to reproduce several empir...
متن کاملComparison of models and lattice-gas simulations for Liesegang patterns
For more than a century Liesegang patterns – self-organized, quasiperiodic structures occurring in diffusion-limited chemical reactions with two components – have been attracting scientists. The pattern formation can be described by four basic empirical laws. In addition to many experiments, several models have been devised to understand the formation of the bands and rings. Here we review the ...

Abstract – In this paper, the effect of applied electric field on the damage due to partial discharges activity into the surroundings dielectrics of a narrow channel encapsulated within the volume of a dielectric material is evaluated using a kinetic model based on Particle in Cell - Monte Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) model. After application of an electric field across a dielectric material which...
متن کاملFormation of Liesegang Patterns: A Spinodal Decomposition Scenario
Spinodal decomposition in the presence of a moving particle source is proposed as a mechanism for the formation of Liesegang bands. This mechanism yields a sequence of band positions xn that obeys the spacing law xn Q 1 1 p n. The dependence of the parameters p and Q on the initial concentration of the reagents is determined and we find that the functional form of p is in agreement with the exp...
