Escape rate for the power-law distribution in low-to-intermediate damping

Escape rate in the low-to-intermediate damping connecting the low damping with the intermediate damping is established for the power-law distribution on the basis of flux over population theory. We extend the escape rate in the low damping to the low-to-intermediate damping, and get an expression for the power-law distribution. Then we apply the escape rate for the power-law distribution to the experimental study of the excited-state isomerization, and show a good agreement with the experimental value. The extra current and the improvement of the absorbing boundary condition are discussed. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
