An alternative derivation of ring-polymer molecular dynamics transition-state theory

Timothy J. H. Hele, Stuart C. Althorpe

In a previous article [J. Chem. Phys. 138, 084108 (2013)], we showed that the $t\to 0_{+}$ limit of ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) rate-theory is also the $t\to 0_{+}$ limit of…
