Abstract

The character of the reactive motion in multidimensional passage over a chemical barrier in the diffusion limit is examined. Frictional coupling between the reactive and nonreactive modes that are defined by the potential forces leads to an enhancement of the rate constant. This effect arises from a bias of the reactive motion towards the direction of least friction, and is modulated by the potential forces. A detailed explanation of this effect is presented and an application to a simple model of isomerization in polymers is given.
