This is the second of two volumes offering the very first comprehensive treatise of self-organization and non-linear dynamics in electrochemical systems. The first volume covers general principles of self-organization as well as temporal instabilities.
The content of both volumes is organized so that each description of a particular electrochemical system is preceded by an introduction to basic concepts of nonlinear dynamics, in order to help the reader unfamiliar with this discipline to understand at least fundamental concepts and the methods of stability analysis. The presentation of the systems is not limited to laboratory models but stretches out to real-life objects and processes, including systems of biological importance, such as neurons in living matter. Marek Orlik presents a comprehensive and consistent survey of the field.
List of contents
Theoretical background of spatial and spatiotemporal patterns in dynamical systems.- Experimental and model spatiotemporal patterns in electrochemical systems.- Cooperative dynamics of coupled and forced oscillators.- Spatial and spatiotemporal patterns in anodized semiconductors.- Convection as a source of self-organization in electrochemical systems.- Liquid membrane and other membrane oscillators.- Control of electrochemical chaos and unstable steady-states.

Additional text
From the reviews:
“No textbook has so far been specifically devoted to the topic of self-organization in electrochemical systems. Happily, Marek Orlik has now remedied this omission with a remarkable and compendious work entitled ‘Self-Organization in Electrochemical Systems’. … ‘Self-Organization in Electrochemical Systems’ is surely destined to become a standard work. For the serious scholar, this book is a treasure that will be enjoyed for many years. The author, and the publishers, are to be congratulated on a fine piece of work.” (Stephen Fletcher, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 17, 2013)
