Experimental observation of partial amplitude death in coupled chaotic oscillators

The dynamics of coupled Lorenz circuits is investigated experimentally. The partial amplitude death reported in {\em Phys. Rev.} E {\bf 72}, 057201 (2005) is verified by physical experiments with electronic circuits. With the increase of coupling constant, the coupled circuits undergo the transition from the breakdown of both the reflection symmetry and the translational symmetry to the partial amplitude death. Its stability is also confirmed by analysing the effects of noise.
