Statistical mechanical models of some condensed phase rate processes - Statistical Mechanics and Chemical Physics

This book presents an elegant manifestation of the application of statistical mechanics to investigate four different topics in the field of condensed phase dynamics. Topics include transport through nuclear pore complex, crossing over an inverted parabolic barrier, first passage time problem in full phase space and fluctuation theorem for a classical harmonic oscillator coupled to a harmonic bath.
