Kramersliknande
Kramersliknande is a Swedish term used to describe models, processes, or behaviors that resemble or are explained by Kramers' theory of thermally activated escape over a potential barrier. In such contexts, systems are treated as stochastic dynamical entities subject to thermal noise and friction, leading to transition rates between metastable states that depend on factors like temperature, barrier height, and damping.
The concept stems from the work of Hendrik Anthony Kramers, who analyzed how a particle in a
Key ideas associated with Kramersliknande behavior include the notion of barrier crossing driven by thermal fluctuations,
Applications of Kramersliknande modeling appear across chemistry, biophysics, materials science, and condensed matter, wherever metastable states
