We present a novel reaction–diffusion system that exhibits three-dimensional superdiffusive traveling waves without utilizing any external forces. These waves include single circular targets, spirals, and ripples as well as phase-like waves. The system is based on the interplay of the precipitation reaction of mercuric iodide in a gel medium, its polymorphic transformation to a different crystalline form, and its redissolution in excess iodide. A phase diagram is constructed as a function of the initial concentrations of the reagents. The spatiotemporal evolution of these waves is thoroughly analyzed and seems to be a consequence of an anomalous dispersion relationship. Pattern selection and wavelengths of propagating waves are found to depend on initial concentrations of the reactants. The breakup of the waves is also investigated. While the breakdown of ripples and spirals is shown to be a consequence of a Doppler-like instability in conjunction with anomalous dispersion, the targets undergo a boundary defect-mediated breakup.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
