Application of the Theory of Stochastic Processes to the Study of Irreproducible Chemical Reactions and Nucleation Processes
随机过程理论在不可重复化学反应与成核过程研究中的应用
Summary The irreproducibility of some chemical reactions is due either to (A) the inherent mechanism of the process or (B) extraneous factors (e.g., impurities). The purpose of this paper is to show that mathematical techniques developed in recent years permit the quantitative calculation of statistical properties of reactions of the type (A). An exposition of some general methods is given; their application to some typical chain mechanisms shows that conditions for the…
