Noise-activated escape from a sloshing potential well.
We treat the noise-activated escape from a one-dimensional potential well of an overdamped particle, to which a periodic force of fixed frequency is applied. Near the well top, the relevant length scales and the boundary layer structure are determined. We show how behavior near the well top generalizes the behavior determined by Kramers, in the case without forcing. Our analysis includes the ca...
متن کاملEscape from a potential well with a randomly switching boundary
We consider diffusion in a potential well with a boundary that randomly switches between absorbing and reflecting and show how the switching boundary affects the classical escape theory. Using the theory of stochastic hybrid systems, we derive boundary value problems for the mean first passage time and splitting probability and find explicit solutions in terms of the spectral decomposition of t...
متن کاملEscape of particles in a time-dependent potential well.
We investigate the escape of an ensemble of noninteracting particles inside an infinite potential box that contains a time-dependent potential well. The dynamics of each particle is described by a two-dimensional nonlinear area-preserving mapping for the variables energy and time, leading to a mixed phase space. The chaotic sea in the phase space surrounds periodic islands and is limited by a s...
متن کاملThermally activated escape rate for a Brownian particle in a double-well potential for all values of the dissipation.
The translational Brownian motion in a (2-4) double-well potential is considered. The escape rate, the position correlation function and correlation time, and the generalized susceptibility are evaluated from the solution of the underlying Langevin equation by using the matrix-continued fraction method. The escape rate and the correlation time are compared with the Kramers theory of the escape ...
متن کاملTransition state theory approach to polymer escape from a one dimensional potential well.
The rate of escape of an ideal bead-spring polymer in a symmetric double-well potential is calculated using transition state theory (TST) and the results compared with direct dynamical simulations. The minimum energy path of the transitions becomes flat and the dynamics diffusive for long polymers making the Kramers-Langer estimate poor. However, TST with dynamical corrections based on short ti...
