Metastable dissipative structures in media with thermal diffusion
The existence of metastable dissipative structures, i.e., spatially periodic formations which are unstable but long-lived, is predicted for the specific case of the dynamics of a gaseous mixture of light and heavy particles which are interacting with external radiation. The observation of such structures would substantially improve the understanding of self-organization in nonlinear distributed systems.
