Dynamics and decay rates of a time-dependent two-saddle system
arXiv:2102.12577 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.103.022121
Abstract
The framework of transition state theory (TST) provides a powerful way for analyzing the dynamics of physical and chemical reactions. While TST has already been successfully used to obtain reaction rates for systems with a single time-dependent saddle point, multiple driven saddles have proven challenging because of their fractal-like phase space structure. This paper presents the construction of an approximately recrossing-free dividing surface based on the normally hyperbolic invariant manifold in a time-dependent two-saddle model system. Based on this, multiple methods for obtaining instantaneous (time-resolved) decay rates of the underlying activated complex are presented and their results discussed.
