Photochemical induction of superlattices in the CIMA reaction

Reaction-diffusion models are frequently used for modeling the formation of stationary patterns on the skin of mammals and other species, and for studying the generation and propagation of autowaves. In this paper, a brief description of the importance and applications about pattern formation are given. A modified Lengley-Epstein Reaction-Diffusion Cellular Neural Network is defined, and computational simulations about how to induce photochemically new superlattices are described. These patterns could be used as templates for the formation of more complex nano-structures with convenient physical properties.
