Abstract
This chapter on Liesegang structures [1] is largely based on the work of my coworkers Werner Jacobi [2], who prepared the famous Liesegang screw surfaces in the test tubes as shown in Fig. 3.1 Claudia Müller [3], Uwe Sydow, Robert Lipski, Bernd Görtler, and A. Fiedler whom I thank for their fruitful cooperation and the carefully executed experiments. Special thanks are due to S. Hollatz and T. Plikat, whom I owe to the experimental elucidation of the three-dimensional Liesegang structures, which are reported for the first time in detail in this book. A. Deutsch and K. Koblitz, I would like to thank for providing the photos on the Figs. 3.2 and 3.3 respectively.
