Transition probability, Laplace

How important, though, is nuclear tunnelling for thermal outer-sphere reactions at ordinary temperature If we work in the Golden Rule formalism, an approximate answer was given some time ago. In harmonic approximation, one obtains from consideration of the Laplace transform of the transition probability (neglecting maximization of pre-exponential terms) the following expressions for free energy (AG ) and enthalpy (AH ) of... 

In the case of the Bernoulli - Laplace model we deal with two different liquids that are mixing. From two boxes, a single molecule is removed coincidentally and placed into the other box. In each box, there are p molecules, initially in one box k molecules of kind 1 and p — k molecules of kind 2. In the other box, the numbers are reverse. The transition probability is then... 

Before finding the Laplace-transformed probability density wj(s, zo) of FPT for the potential, depicted in Fig. A 1(b), let us obtain the Laplace-transformed probability density wx s, zo) of transition time for the system whose potential is depicted in Fig. Al(c). This potential is transformed from the original profile [Fig. Al(a)] by the vertical shift of the right-hand part of the profile by step p which is arbitrary in value and sign. So far as in this case the derivative dpoints except z = 0, we can use again linear-independent solutions U(z) and V(z), and the potential jump that equals p at the point z = 0 may be taken into account by the new joint condition at z = 0. The probability current at this point is continuous as before, but the probability density W(z, t) has now the step, so the second condition of (9.4) is the same, but instead of the first one we should write Y (0) + v1 (0) = YiiOje f1. It gives new values of arbitrary constants C and C2 and a new value of the probability current at the point z = 0. Now the Laplace transformation of the probability current is...
