✦ Synopsis


A kinematic approach is used to construct steady-state traveling wave patterns in a two-dimensional excitable medium with a band of different excitability. New stationary autowave structures of bell-like shape are shown to exist when the excitability in a band is decreased compared to surrounding areas. The front profiles of the patterns and their propagation velocities are evaluated. Total internal reflection of waves from a band of higher excitability is predicted. The failure of steady-state propagation because of the critical curvature effect is discussed.

## Abstract A CO‐bond cleavage of esters having a naphthyl group, NpCO‐OR and RCO‐ONp (Np=α‐ and β‐naphthyl (^α^Np and ^β^Np, respectively), R=Ph and Me), was found during the two‐color two‐laser flash photolysis in acetonitrile. The CO‐bond cleavage occurred when NpCO‐OR and RCO‐ONp were excited
