Formation of Liesegang patterns: A spinodal decomposition scenario
T. Antal, M. Droz, J. Magnin, Z. Rácz
Abstract
Spinodal decomposition in the presence of a moving particle source is proposed as a mechanism for the formation of Liesegang bands. This mechanism yields a sequence of band positions xn that obeys the spacing law xn~Q(1+p)n. The dependence of the parameters p and Q on the initial concentration of the reagents is determined and we find that the functional form of p is in agreement with the experimentally observed Matalon-Packter law.
