We investigate the influence of a stochastically fluctuating step-barrier potential on bimolecular reaction rates by exact analytical theory and stochastic simulations. We demonstrate that the system exhibits a new resonant reaction…
We consider the activated random walk (ARW) model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, which undergoes a transition from an absorbing regime to a regime of sustained activity. In any dimension we prove that the system is in the active regime when the…
Recent studies have identified plasma as a topological material. Yet, these researches often depict plasma as a fluid governed by electromagnetic fields, i.e., a classical wave system. Indeed, plasma transport can be characterized by a…
Jet-medium interactions are studied via a multi-hadron correlation technique (called "2+1"), where a pair of back-to-back hadron triggers with large transverse momentum is used as a proxy for a di-jet. This work extends the previous…

Molecular structures with multiple donor, bridge, or acceptor units can display quantum interference effects that influence electron and energy transfer (ET and EnT) rates. Recent experiments found a 4- to 5-fold increase in ET rates for…
The thermal activation process by which a system passes from one local energy minimum to another is a recurring motif in physics, chemistry, and biology. For instance, biopolymer chains are typically modeled in terms of energy landscapes,…
Movements of molecular motors on cytoskeletal filaments are described by directed walks on a line. Detachment from this line is allowed to occur with a small probability. Motion in the surrounding fluid is described by symmetric random…
We develop a theory of nucleation on top of two-dimensional islands bordered by steps with an additional energy barrier $\Delta E_S$ for descending atoms. The theory is based on the concept of the residence time of an adatom on the…
We study three classes of continuous time Markov processes (inclusion process, exclusion process, independent walkers) and a family of interacting diffusions (Brownian energy process). For each model we define a boundary driven process…
A new asymptotic theory is proposed for the peripheral sub- and above-barrier transfer $A$($x$, $y$)$B$ reaction within the three-body ($A$, $a$ and $y$) model, where $ x$= $y$ + $a$, $B$= $A$ + $a$ and $ a$ is a transferred particle. In…
The dynamics of complex systems often involve thermally activated barrier crossing events that allow these systems to move from one basin of attraction on the high dimensional energy surface to another. Such events are ubiquitous, but…
We theoretically investigate the flow of the atomic excitations in a driven chiral-coupled atomic chain with nonreciprocal decay channels. This one-dimensional system allows infinite-range dipole-dipole interaction, and enables directional…
We report the results of a density-functional study of the diffusion of Pt dimers on the (111) surface of Pt. The calculated activation energy of 0.37 eV is in {\em exact} agreement with the recent experiment of Kyuno {\em et al.}…
Cooperative jump motions are studied for mutually interacting particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential. The diffusion constant for the cooperative motion in systems including a small number of particles is numerically calculated…
We perform a systematic study of capture excitation functions by using an empirical coupled-channel model. In this model, a barrier distribution is used to take effectively into account the effects of couplings between the relative motion…
Intramolecular symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (ISAPT) is a method to compute and decompose the noncovalent interaction energy between two molecular fragments A and B connected via a linker C. The existing ISAPT algorithm displays…

Fluids confined to quasi-one-dimensional channels exhibit a dynamic crossover from single file diffusion to normal diffusion as the channel becomes wide enough for particles to hop past each other. In the crossover regime, where hopping…
Motivated by recent research of Nikitin et al. (J.Phys.D vol. 49, 055301(2009)), we examine the effects of interatomic interactions on adatom surface diffusion. By using a mean-field approach in the random walk problem, we derive a…
