Abstract

Two-dimensional Liesegang patterns formed when the boundary between electrolytes is polygonal display a variety of patterns, such as dislocations (radial alleys of gaps), branches (anastomoses) and spirals, many of which can be found in nature. Each vertex of the polygon can produce a pair of dislocation lines or branch lines. The effect caused by a vertex decreases with the number of vertices. Double-armed spirals are observed in experiments with a pentagonal boundary. Hexagons, which begin to approach smooth circular boundaries, do not give rise to dislocations, but instead yield concentric precipitation rings. A simple model of nucleation growth enables us to simulate dislocations and spirals consistent with those seen in our experiments.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
