Theory of the Kinetics of Chemical Potentials in Heterogeneous Catalysis

Chemical Measurement and Fluctuation Scaling.

Fluctuation scaling reports on all processes producing a data set. Some fluctuation scaling relationships, such as the Horwitz curve, follow exponential dispersion models which have useful properties. The mean-variance method applied to Poisson distributed data is a special case of these properties allowing the gain of a system to be measured. Here, a general method is described for investigati...

Time-Dependent Statistical Mechanics 10. Classical theory of chemical kinetics

One of the most recent applications of classical linear response theory is to Lecture 7 10/13/09 the theory of chemical reaction rate constants, although this is one of the more important and interesting applications of time dependent statistical mechanics, from a chemistry point of view. At first glance it looks like an unusual and unphysical way of constructing a theory, but in fact it is valid.

Fluctuation effects in the theory of weak supercrystallization in block copolymer systems of complicated chemical structure

To investigate the influence of fluctuation effects on conditions of microphase separation in two-component incompressible molten block copolymers of complicated chemical structure an altemative and more general fornlulation of the weak crystallization theory is developed using a new variational principle for the calculation of the free
