Time-dependent barrier passage of Two-dimensional non-Ohmic damping system

arXiv:0905.2074 · doi:10.1063/1.3194132

Abstract

The time-dependent barrier passage of an anomalous damping system is studied via the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) with non-Ohmic memory damping friction tensor and corresponding thermal colored noise tensor describing a particle passing over the saddle point of a two-dimensional quadratic potential energy surface. The time-dependent passing probability and transmission coefficient are analytically obtained by using of the reactive flux method. The long memory aspect of friction is revealed to originate a non-monotonic (power exponent of the friction) dependence of the passing probability, the optimal incident angle of the particle and the steady anomalous transmission coefficient. In the long time limit a bigger steady transmission coefficient is obtained which means less barrier recrossing than the one-dimensional case.
