In the plus-x orientation, the region behind the plastic wave is treated as a conductor. Accordingly, in the electrical model, the left electrode is moving with the velocity of the plastic wave. Otherwise, the analysis proceeds as in the case of the elastic-dielectric. For convenience it is assumed that 3 = 2 = i. The thicknesses of the two dielectric regions are = I and I2 — ([/, — U2)t. Solution for the current is then...

A breakthrough in cell modelling occurred with the work of the British scientists. Sir Alan L. Hodgkin and Sir Andrew F. Huxley, for which they were in 1963 (jointly with Sir John C. Eccles) awarded the Nobel prize. Their new electrical models calculated the changes in membrane potential on the basis of the underlying ionic currents. 

Purely electrical models of the heart are only a start. Combined electromechanical finite-element models of the heart take into account the close relationship that exists between the electrical and mechanical properties of individual heart cells. The mechanical operation of the heart is also influenced by the fluid-structure interactions between the blood and the blood vessels, heart walls, and valves. All of these interactions would need to be included in a complete description of heart contraction.

Figure 1 A distributed resistor network models approximately how the apphed potential is distributed across a DSSC under steady-state conditions. For various values of the interparticle resistance, fiT,o2, and the interfacial charge transfer resistance, Rc the voltage is calculated for each node of the Ti02 network, labeled Vj through V . This is purely an electrical model that does not take mobile electrolytes into account and, therefore, potentials at the nodes are electrical potentials, whereas in a DSSC, all internal potentials are electrochemical in nature.

The boundary conditions for the electrical model are the overpotentials on the cathodic side and on the anodic side. In both cases these conditions are set at the interconnections. The first overpotential is set to zero, while the latter is calculated as the difference between the open reversible voltage and the cell voltage, namely... 

Instruments and Methods of Measurements. A Leeds and Northrup Type K-3 universal potentiometer, in conjunction with a General Electric Model 29 galvanometer, was used to measure electromotive force. The potentiometer was calibrated by means of a Weston Standard Cell which had been calibrated against a National Bureau of Standards (NBS) certified standard cell. Galvanic cells which were maintained at constant temperatures of 25°, 35°, and 45°C d= 0.01° by being immersed in a water bath at the desired temperature. The temperatures of the baths were set using a Fisher Scientific calibrated standard thermometer, with calibration traceable to the NBS. An adaptation of the cell sketched by Ives and Janz (II) was used. The modification of the cell was that described by Mclntrye and Amis (10).

From this physical model, an electrical model of the interface can be given. Free corrosion is the association of an anodic process (iron dissolution) and a cathodic process (electrolyte reduction). Ther ore, as discussed in Section 9.2.1, the total impedance of the system near the corrosion potential is equivalent to an anodic impedance Za in parallel with a cathodic impedance Zc with a solution resistance Re added in series as shoxvn in Figure 13.13(a). The anodic impedance Za is simply depicted by a double-layer capacitance in parallel with a charge-transfer resistance (Figure 13.13(b)). The cathodic branch is described, following the method of de Levie, by a distributed impedance in space as a transmission line in the conducting macropore (Figure 13.12). The interfacial impedance of the microporous... 

Thus, the anodic surface corresponds to the end of the macropores, whereas the cathodic reaction occurs at the end of the micropores, which are located at the walls of the macropores. It should be noted that this physical-electrical model describes the behavior of cast iron at any time of immersion. 

For a given N-shaped current-potential characteristic, there are two parameters that determine the bistable region. Re and U. In the U/Rg parameter diagram, this region becomes broader while shifting toward larger values of U for increasing, irrespective of the electrochemical reaction [Fig. 2(c)]. Below we will see that this feature is also encountered in all more complicated electrical models that describe simple or complex oscillatory behavior since all of them require an N-shaped polarization curve. 

We now review the possible origins of N-shaped interfacial characteristics that are, as we have seen, essential for the occurrence of instabilities in Eq. (1) and also, as will be demonstrated below, in all other electrical models. Several mechanisms leading to an N-shaped polarization curve have been discussed in various places in the literature. They were collected in a concise way by Koper, whose representation we follow here. 

The other two models, proposed by Haim et alP and Koper and Sluyters, become reduced to electrical models in the spatially homogeneous case. Hence the double-layer potential is a dependent variable, and the models contain elements that are also included in the model by Hatgen and Krischer. In this respect, these two models can be viewed as predecessors of the one presented above. However, each of them contains physically unreasonable assumptions that lead to results contradictory to those obtained with the above-discussed model. 

The simplest manifestation of self-organization in a reacting system is the occurrence of bistability, that is, the coexistence of two locally stable homogeneous states. In all electrical models, bistable behavior results from the interaction of an N-shaped stationary polarization curve with a sufficiently large ohmic resistor in the external circuit. These two features also represent the backbone for all more complex forms of self-organization where, owing to exactly these two properties of the system, the double-layer potential takes on the role of the autocatalytic variable. 

An ideally polarizable electrode behaves as an ideal capacitor because there is no charge transfer across the solution/electrode boundary. In this case, the equivalent electrical model consists of the solution resistance, R, in series with the double-layer capacitance, Cdi. An analysis of such a circuit was presented in Section I.2(i).
