Abstract:
Chaotic synchronization for a pair of electrochemical oscillators is studied experimentally. The underlying bidirectional coupling between the two oscillators is achieved by immersing the two anodes in a common electrolytic solution. The horizontal distance between these two electrodes determines the strength of the coupling constant. On monotonically decreasing the distance between the two anodes, different domains of chaotic synchronization, namely, no, phase, lag, and complete synchronization, are identified. Furthermore, dynamics from the different transition intervals are also characterized.
