Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

“Through this study, we were able to find clues about how electrons behave when they pass through the atomic wall,” stated Professor Dong Eon Kim. Physicists have been mystified for more than a ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Innsbruck have observed a quantum tunneling effect in experiments that build off 15 years of research into such reactions and marks the slowest charged ...

The electronic chip and the Van der Waals complex with an internuclear distance 0.39 nm. In combination with the improved Coulomb-corrected strong-field approximation (ICCSFA) method developed by the ...

Researchers at the Institute of Solid State Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), in collaboration with colleagues from TU Vienna and the University of Cambridge, have discovered how ...

(Nanowerk News) Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists led by Roland Wester of the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have now for the first time observed a ...

(Nanowerk News) Tunnelling is one of most fundamental processes in quantum mechanics, where the wave packet could traverse a classically insurmountable energy barrier with a certain probability.

Tunneling reactions in chemistry are very difficult to predict. The quantum mechanically exact description of chemical reactions with more than three particles is difficult, with more than four ...
