Proton Tunneling in a Two-Dimensional Potential Energy Surface with a Non-linear System-Bath Interaction: Thermal Suppression of Reaction Rate

Jiaji Zhang, Raffaele Borrelli, Yoshitaka Tanimura

We consider a proton-transfer (PT) system described by a proton-transfer reaction (PTR) coordinate and a rate promoting vibrational (RPV) coordinate interacting with a non-Markovia…
