Abstract
A suggestion for creating an excitable/oscillatory field with solid-st ate material is proposed. Tn essence, the idea is to make a spatial ar ray of ''mesoscopic particles'' with the characteristics of a first-or der phase transition. A theoretical computation shows that an auto-wav e, or excitable wave, is generated in such an excitable field. A simpl e example of using this system as a diode in information flow is given .
