The microscopic theory of chemical reactions is based on transition state theory, where atoms or ions transfer classically over an energy barrier, as electrons maintain their ground state. Electron transfer is fundamentally different and…
Charge exchange is an atomic process that primarily occurs at interfaces between the neutral and ionized gas. The study of the process has been carried out on three levels: the theoretical calculation of the cross sections, the laboratory…

The astrophysical factor of $^8$B($p$,$\gamma$)$^9$C at zero energy, $S_{18}(0)$, is determined by a three-body coupled-channels analysis of the transfer reaction $^{8}$B($d$,$n$)$^{9}$C at 14.4 MeV/nucleon. Effects of the breakup channels…
While direct hot-carrier transfer can increase photo-catalytic activity, it is difficult to discern experimentally and competes with several other mechanisms. To shed light on these aspects, here, we model from first principles hot-carrier…
