Abstract:
We study the interaction of intrinsic electrochemical noise with autonomous nonlinear dynamics of a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The amplitude of this intrinsic (internal) noise, regulated by the concentration of chloride ions, is monotonically increased and the provoked dynamics is analyzed. The experimentally constructed coherence factor beta versus the concentration of the chloride ions' curve has a unimodal shape indicating the emergence of intrinsic coherence resonance. The abscissa for the maxima of this unimodal curve corresponds to the optimum value of intrinsic noise where maximum regularity of the invoked dynamics is observed.
