Rate constants from instanton theory via a microcanonical approach.
Microcanonical instanton theory offers the promise of providing rate constants for chemical reactions including quantum tunneling of atoms over the whole temperature range. We discuss different rate expressions, which require the calculation of stability parameters of the instantons. The traditional way of obtaining these stability parameters is shown to be numerically unstable in practical app...
متن کاملMicrocanonical and thermal instanton rate theory for chemical reactions at all temperatures.
Semiclassical instanton theory is used to study the quantum effects of tunnelling and delocalization in molecular systems. An analysis of the approximations involved in the method is presented based on a recent first-principles derivation of instanton rate theory [J. Chem. Phys., 2016, 144, 114106]. It is known that the standard instanton method is unable to accurately compute thermal rates nea...
متن کاملQuantum instanton approximation for thermal rate constants of chemical reactions
A quantum mechanical theory for chemical reaction rates is presented which is modeled after the #semiclassical !SC"$ instanton approximation. It incorporates the desirable aspects of the instanton picture, which involves only properties of the !SC approximation to the" Boltzmann operator, but corrects its quantitative deficiencies by replacing the SC approximation for the Boltzmann operator by ...
متن کاملSemiclassical instanton approach to calculation of reaction rate constants in multidimensional chemical systems.
The semiclassical instanton approximation is revisited in the context of its application to the calculation of chemical reaction rate constants. An analytical expression for the quantum canonical reaction rate constants of multidimensional systems is derived for all temperatures from the deep tunneling to high-temperature regimes. The connection of the derived semiclassical instanton theory wit...
متن کاملLow Energy Constants of Chiral Perturbation Theory from the Instanton Vacuum
In the framework of the instanton vacuum model we make expansion over the current mass m and number of colors Nc and evaluate O(1/Nc, m, m/Nc, m lnm/Nc)corrections to the dynamical quark mass M , the quark condensate 〈q̄q〉, the pion mass Mπ and decay constant Fπ. We found the SU(2) χPT low-energy constants l̄3, l̄4 in a good correspondence with the phenomenology and lattice calculations. Introduct...
