摘要
Chemical systems that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium may form complex temporal and spatiotemporal structures. In our paper, we present unusual precipitation patterns that have been observed in the system of Cu(II)-oxalate. Starting with a pellet of copper sulfate immersed in or by pumping copper sulfate solution into a horizontal layer of sodium oxalate solution, we have observed the formation of a precipitate ring and an array of radially oriented thin fingers. The development of these patterns is related to the internal structure of the different crystals, the gravity flow, and the circular symmetry of the experimental arrangement.
