On the One‐Dimensional Transition State Theory and the Relation between Statistical and Deterministic Oscillation Frequencies of Anharmonic Energy Wells

Résumé

The transition state theory allows the development of approximated models useful to study the non‐equilibrium evolution of systems undergoing transformations between two states (e.g., chemical reactions). In a simplified 1D setting, the characteristic rate constants are typically written in terms of a temperature‐dependent characteristic oscillation frequency , describing the exploration of the phase space. As a particular case, this statistical oscillation frequency can be defined for an arbitrary convex potential energy well. This value is compared here with the deterministic oscillation frequency of the corresponding anharmonic oscillator. It is proved that there is a universal relationship between statistical and deterministic frequencies, which is the same for classical and relativistic mechanics. The independence of this relationship from the adopted physical laws gives it an interesting thermodynamic and pedagogical meaning. Several examples clarify the meaning of this relationship from both physical and mathematical viewpoints.
