Quantifying the Properties of Nonproductive Attempts at Thermally Activated Energy-Barrier Crossing through Direct Observation
Thermally activated energy-barrier crossing is ubiquitous in physical, chemical, and biological processes. Most barrier-crossing attempts have insufficient energy to overcome the barrier; hence, productive transition paths that successfully cross the barrier are very rare compared to nonproductive f...
