Analytical models of polymer nucleation

In this thesis we investigate and develop analytic models for polymer nucleation and other barrier crossing problems. Our most broadly appealing method for certain multi dimensional barrier crossing problems is a one-dimensional projection which includes a novel technique to extract rate kinetics fr...
