Statistical physics

escape of a Brownian particle over an energy barrier, with a rate set by barrier height and the friction of the surrounding medium.

In statistical physics, Kramers rate theory refers to escape of a Brownian particle over an energy barrier, with a rate set by barrier height and the friction of the surrounding medium. This meaning comes from Kramers (1940) in Physica.[1]
