Kinetics of collision-sticking processes between vapor molecules and molecular clusters of low volatile compounds facilitates the initial steps of atmospheric clustering. Conventional theoretical models are quite inaccurate due to the…

Diffusion in a multidimensional energy surface with minima and barriers is a problem of importance in statistical mechanics and also has wide applications, such as protein folding. To understand it in such a system, we carry out theory and…
