Traveling waves and nonequilibrium stationary patterns in two-component reactive langmuir monolayers

Traveling waves and nonequilibrium stationary patterns in two-component reactive langmuir monolayers

A simple kinetic model of a two-component phase-separating Langmuir monolayer with a chemical reaction is proposed. Its analysis and numerical simulations show that nonequilibrium periodic stationary structures and patterns of traveling stripes can spontaneously develop. The nonequilibrium phase dia...

Zusammenfassung:A simple kinetic model of a two-component phase-separating Langmuir monolayer with a chemical reaction is proposed. Its analysis and numerical simulations show that nonequilibrium periodic stationary structures and patterns of traveling stripes can spontaneously develop. The nonequilibrium phase diagram of this system is constructed and the properties of the patterns are discussed.
