title: Phase-flip transition in coupled electrochemical cells.
abstract: Time delay is introduced in the coupling between a pair of electrochemical cells. As coupling parameters are varied, the anodic current in the two cells oscillate in synchrony in regimes of periodic as well as chaotic dynamics. When the time delay is varied a phase-flip transition is observed: the relative phase between the synchronized oscillations changes abruptly by pi . This is accompanied by an experimentally measurable discontinuous change in the frequency of the synchronized oscillators.
