Abstract: Dissipative structures in chemical systems could be influenced by external fields. Here we consider the case in which propagating bands appear as a consequence of the field. This influence of the field is characterized by the ratio (EintkT)12, in which Eint is the energy of interaction. If we contrast this with the influence of the field in equilibrium systems, which is characterized by the ratio (EintkT) ⪌ 1, we see that nonequilibrium systems are sensitive to external fields.
