Abstract

A stochastic model of the bimolecular atom recombination rate is developed and applied to iodine recombination in gaseous and liquid ethane. The data required are features of the potential surfaces and a model of the density dependent friction of an isolated atom. The stochastic model correctly predicts the roll-over of the recombination rate with density without recourse to the complexities of configurational models in which the mechanisms, thermodynamics and kinetics of clusters are required.
