reactorphysics
Reactorphysics is an interdisciplinary field that studies the physical mechanisms governing chemical reactivity, integrating principles from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics to explain how and why chemical reactions occur, and how rates and products are determined. The field emphasizes energy landscapes, transition states, and dynamical pathways, aiming to connect microscopic interactions with observable reaction outcomes. It often seeks to bridge the gap between abstract physical theories and practical chemical phenomena.
Theoretical foundations in reactorphysics include quantum reaction dynamics, potential energy surface theory, and the role of
Applications span catalysis, photochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, combustion, and materials synthesis, and include investigations of energy transfer,
