Processes involving randomly moving particles, which react either
upon encounter or via distance-dependent reaction rates, are
ubiquitous in nature. A few stray examples are recombination of
ions or holes and electrons, excitation energy migration and
quenching, trapping of particles by other species, coagulation,
binding of ligands and proteins to specific sites, chemotaxis,
catalytically-induced self-propulsion, polymerization, growth of
dendrites or aggregates, or nuclei of a new phase.Several decades
ago, it was recognized that the kinetic behavior in some systems
with reactions and random transport is strongly affected by many
factors, which were not taken into account in previous studies.
These are, to name but a few, fluctuations in the spatial
distributions of the reactants and fluctuations of the reactivity,
some essentially many-particle phenomena, effects of anomalous
diffusion, molecular crowding, as well as the internal geometry of
the reaction bath. Within recent years, along with a growing
interest in chemical processes ocurring in biological systems or
cellular environments, numerous advances have been made and
considerable knowledge has been acquired. These seminal
contributions are, however, scattered among many journals and no
attempt has been made so far to present a unified picture.This book
presents a general overview of different contemporary facets of
chemical kinetics in a variety of different environments. It
includes 23 seminal works and reviews on different aspects of
reaction processes in chemical, physical and biophysical systems,
both theoretical and experimental.
