Mechanism of the autowave process in a thin layer of colloidal solution of magnetic nanoparticles in liquid dielectric

Abstract

The mechanism of the autowave process is established in the near-electrode layer of a magnetic colloid, which is a distributed excitable active medium capable of generating a pulse in response to an external action. It is shown that the autowave process is associated with the formation of ion waves generating an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow
