Abstract: A suggestion for creating an excitable/oscillatory field with solid-state material is proposed. Tn essence, the idea is to make a spatial array of ''mesoscopic particles'' with the characteristics of a first-order phase transition. A theoretical computation shows that an auto-wave, or excitable wave, is generated in such an excitable field. A simple example of using this system as a diode in information flow is given.
