Two-particle tunneling in synchronous and asynchronous regimes is studied in the framework of dissipative quantum tunneling. We show that the use of the proposed model is justified by a comparison with realistic potential energy surfaces of…

We analyze diffusion of small particles in a solid polymeric medium taking into account a short range particle-polymer interaction. The system is modeled by a particle diffusion on a ternary lattice where the sites occupied by polymer…
