Extensive Study of Shape and Surface Structure Formation in the Mercury Beating Heart System
A phenomenological
study of the mercury beating heart system in a three electrode electrochemical
cell configuration forced with a harmonic perturbation is presented.
The system is controlled via a potentiostat, where the mercury drop
is electrically connected to a platinum wire and acts as the working
electrode. This configuration exhibits geometrical shapes and complex
surface structures when a harmonic signal is superimposed to the working
electrode potential. This study involves a wide range of frequencies
and amplitudes of the forcing signal. Differents levels of structure
complexity are observed as a function of the parameters of the applied
perturbation. At certain amplitudes and frequencies, rotational behavior
is also observed
