    Notes: We present a model in which the immediate environment of a bistable system is a molecular chain which in turn is connected to a thermal environment of the Langevin form. The molecular chain consists of masses connected by harmonic or by anharmonic springs. The distribution, intensity, and mobility of thermal fluctuations in these chains is strongly dependent on the nature of the springs and leads to different transition dynamics for the activated process. Thus, all else (temperature, damping, coupling parameters between the chain and the bistable system) being the same, the hard chain may provide an environment described as diffusion-limited and more effective in the activation process, while the soft chain may provide an environment described as energy-limited and less effective. The importance of a detailed understanding of the thermal environment toward the understanding of the activation process itself is thus highlighted. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: All systems in thermal equilibrium exhibit a spatially variable energy landscape due to thermal fluctuations. Thus at any instant there is naturally a thermodynamically driven localization of energy in parts of the system relative to other parts of the system. The specific characteristics of the spatial landscape such as, for example, the energy variance, depend on the thermodynamic properties of the system and vary from one system to another. The temporal persistence of a given energy landscape, that is, the way in which energy fluctuations (high or low) decay toward the thermal mean, depends on the dynamical features of the system. We discuss the spatial and temporal characteristics of spontaneous energy localization in 1D anharmonic chains in thermal equilibrium. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    On the generalized Kramers problem with oscillatory memory friction (1999)

    Notes: The time-dependent transmission coefficient for the Kramers problem exhibits different behaviors in different parameter regimes. In the high friction regime it decays monotonically ("nonadiabatic"), and in the low friction regime it decays in an oscillatory fashion ("energy-diffusion limited"). The generalized Kramers problem with an exponential memory friction exhibits an additional oscillatory behavior in the high friction regime ("caging"). In this paper we consider an oscillatory memory kernel, which can be associated with a model in which the reaction coordinate is linearly coupled to a nonreactive coordinate, which is in turn coupled to a heat bath. We recover the nonadiabatic and energy-diffusion-limited behaviors of the transmission coefficient in appropriate parameter regimes, and find that caging is not observed with an oscillatory memory kernel. Most interestingly, we identify a new regime in which the time-dependent transmission coefficient decays via a series of rather sharp steps followed by plateaus ("stair-like"). We explain this regime and its dependence on the various parameters of the system. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The basic concepts of fractal geometry are reviewed and applied to quasi-two-dimensional zinc electrodeposits. Among the different structures developed during zinc electrodeposition, we have identified the open texture (obtained at large zinc sulfate concentration and small applied potential values) as a typical fractal self-similar structure. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
