Abstract: | In a previous study, the iodate-sulfite proton autoactivated reaction (Landolt reaction) was shown to exhibit spatial bistability and spatiotemporal oscillations when operated in an open spatial reactor with fixed "thickness", i.e., feed boundary to core distance. Here, we show that the spatial reactors with conical geometry enable one to rapidly probe the sensitivity of the above phenomena over a large range of the "thickness" parameter. This often-neglected parameter in chemical pattern studies plays an important role on the selection and stability of states. We reveal that the quenching capacity of slow diffusing polyacrylate ions on the spatiotemporal oscillations depends on this "thickness". The presented results should be useful for further research on reaction diffusion patterns and chemomechanical structures. |
