We measure the spatially averaged dissolution rate (the current), and record spatially resolved surface patterns (the growth of a passivating film) with a video camera. As the potential is varied, the O(2) spatial symmetry of a base oscillatory state (high potentials) breaks giving rise to a period-doubled oscillation with apparent Z2+Z2c spatiotemporal symmetry. }, year = {1993}, journal = {Physics Letters APhysics Letters A}, volume = {179}, pages = {355-363}, month = {08/1993}, isbn = {0375-9601}, language = {English}, }
