Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Developed new methods for calculating chemical reaction rates from first-principles simulations.
Exploitation Route They can be used by people wishing to compute reaction rates for input into kinetic models of combustion and atmospheric processes.
Sectors Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Chemicals,Energy,Environment

 
Description They have been used to calculate the rates of chemical reactions, and to elucidate the role of quantum effects on the rates and mechanisms of these reactions. They have also been taken up by other theoretical groups, who have used the results to develop new theories of multi-surface chemical reactions designed to treat charge-transfer processes.
