The transition states and dividing surfaces used to find rate constants for bimolecular reactions are shown to undergo qualitative changes, known as Morse bifurcations, and to exist for a large range of energies, not just immediately above…
The $ab$ oscillations in absorbing matter are considered. The standard model based on optical potential does not describe the total $ab$ transition probability as well as the channel corresponding to absorption of the $b$-particle. We…
We investigate the critical behavior of a reaction-diffusion system exhibiting a continuous absorbing-state phase transition. The reaction-diffusion system strictly conserves the total density of particles, represented as a non-diffusive…
In the framework of a field theoretic model obtained by second quantization of Doi-type master equation, we investigate the effects of random sources and sinks on the reaction kinetics in the master-equation description. We show that random…
Test particles interact with a medium by means of a bimolecular reversible chemical reaction. Two species are assumed to be much more numerous so that they are distributed according fixed distributions: Maxwellians and Dirac's deltas.…
We address the two-dimensional bimolecular annihilation reaction $A + A \to \emptyset$ in the presence of random impurities. Impurities with sufficiently long-ranged interaction energies are known to lead to anomalous diffusion, $<r^2(t)>…
Two-particle annihilation reaction, A+A -> inert, for immobile reactants on the Bethe lattice is solved exactly for the initially random distribution. The process reaches an absorbing state in which no nearest-neighbor reactants are left.…

Chemical reactions involve the movement of charges, and this work presents a mathematical model for describing chemical reactions in electrolytes. The model is developed using an energy variational method that aligns with classical…
Highly specific spatiotemporal interactions between cognate molecular partners essentially sustain all biochemical transactions in the living matter. That such an exquisite level of accuracy may result from encountering forces solely driven…
We discuss stationary concentrations of reactants in an A + B -> 0 reaction under subdiffusion and show that they are described by stationary reaction-diffusion equations with a nonlinear diffusion term. We consider stationary profiles of…
In most natural sciences there is currently the insight that it is necessary to bridge gaps between different processes which can be observed on different scales. This is especially true in the field of chemical reactions where the…
Response theory describes the reaction of observales to perturbations in external fields. We review this formalism for quantum fiels in isolation that have unitary time evolution. An emphasis is put on consequences of causality and the…
We study theoretically and numerically the steady state diffusion controlled reaction $A+B\rightarrow\emptyset$, where currents $J$ of $A$ and $B$ particles are applied at opposite boundaries. For a reaction rate $\lambda$, and equal…
We study the reaction-diffusion process $A + B \to \emptyset$ on uncorrelated scale-free networks analytically. By a mean-field ansatz we derive analytical expressions for the particle pair-correlations and the particle density. Expressing…
We examine the long-time behaviour of A+B \to 0 reaction-diffusion systems with initially separated species A and B. All of our analysis is carried out for arbitrary (positive) values of the diffusion constant D_A of particles A and initial…
The density functional approach is used to study the gas-to-liquid and liquid-to-gas nucleation phenomena in a fluid of two-level atoms in an external electrical field. The influence of the field on the surface tension and nucleation and…
A system of equations of the reaction-diffusion type is studied in the framework of both the direct and the inverse prolongation structure. We find that this system allows an incomplete prolongation Lie algebra, which is used to find the…
The dielectric nature of polar liquids underpins much of their ability to act as useful solvents, but its description is complicated by the long-ranged nature of dipolar interactions. This is particularly pronounced under the periodic…
Transition path theory provides a statistical description of the dynamics of a reaction in terms of local spatial quantities. In its original formulation, it is limited to reactions that consist of trajectories flowing from a reactant set A…
