Transition-Event Durations in One Dimensional Activated Processes
arXiv:cond-mat/0609741 · doi:10.1063/1.2434966
Abstract
Despite their importance in activated processes, transition-event durations -- which are much shorter than first passage times -- have not received a complete theoretical treatment. We therefore study the distribution of durations of transition events over a barrier in a one-dimensional system undergoing over-damped Langevin dynamics.
