Analytical models of polymer nucleation by Hamer, Matthew James

“…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 from simulations [M J Hamer et al., Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 11396-11408]. The scenarios we expect our method to be potentially useful are situations where barrier crossings are rare, and the dominant mechanism is through a series of unlikely incremental steps. …”
