The calculation of rate coefficients is a discipline of nonlinear science of importance to much
of physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology. Fifty years after Kramers' seminal paper on …

Electron‐transfer processes in solution are among the most important reactions in chemistry
and biology. The huge number of redox reactions of transition metal ions and complexes …

We present an overview of the current status of transition-state theory and its
generalizations. We emphasize (i) recent improvements in available methodology for …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the model SN2 reaction Cl−+ CH3Cl→ ClCH3+ Cl−
in water, and variants thereof, are presented. The resulting transmission coefficients κ, that …

The reaction rate and mechanism of the interconversion between a contact ion pair and
solvent separated ion pair in model polar solvents is investigated by molecular dynamics …

A solution reaction path Hamiltonian (SRPH) is constructed for heavy particle charge
transfer reactions in a nondissipative polar solvent. This formulation includes …

The analog simulation of an overdamped Brownian particle in a quartic double-well
potential driven by an external (either Gaussian or dichotomic) multiplicative noise is …

A general theory is presented for the thermally activated rate constant in systems influenced
by spatially dependent and time correlated friction. The theory is valid at all damping …

Classical activated rate processes are examined for systems which are influenced by a
spatially dependent friction on the reaction coordinate motion. In these systems, the spatial …

The detailed dependence of the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of a bistable periodic Fokker-
Planck equation on the external-noise correlation time is determined for the first time …
