A chimeralike state is the spatiotemporal pattern in an ensemble of homogeneous coupled oscillators, described as the emergence of coexisting coherent (synchronized) and incoherent (unsynchronized) groups. We demonstrate the existence of these states in three active camphor ribbons, which are camphor infused rectangular pieces of paper. These pinned ribbons rotate on the surface of the water due to Marangoni effect driven forces generated by the surface tension gradients. The ribbons are coupled via a camphor layer on the surface of the water. In the minimal network of globally coupled camphor ribbons, chimeralike states are characterized by the coexistence of two synchronized and one unsynchronized ribbons. We present a numerical model, simulating the coupling between ribbons as repulsive Yukawa interactions, which was able to reproduce these experimentally observed states.

活性樟脑带最小网络中的嵌合体状态

嵌合状态是齐次耦合振荡器集合中的时空模式，被描述为同时存在相干（同步）和不相干（非同步）组。我们在三个活动的樟脑色带中证明了这些状态的存在，这些色带是樟脑注入的矩形纸。由于表面张力梯度产生的Marangoni效应驱动力，这些固定的丝带在水表面旋转。条带通过水表面上的樟脑层耦合。在全球耦合的樟脑色带的最小网络中，类似嵌合状态的特征是两个同步色带和一个非同步色带并存。我们提出了一个数值模型，将色带之间的耦合模拟为排斥的汤川相互作用，
