The goal of these experiments is the measurement of the front propagation of one of the two stable stationary states into the other, see Chap. 5 particularly Sects. 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 and Figs. 5.2–5.7. From such measurements we can determine equistability conditions for the two stationary states where the front propagation velocity is zero. We thus obtain kinetic and thermodynamic conditions for the coexistence of the two stationary states.
