HTST

#include "Spirit/HTST.h"

Harmonic transition state theory.

Note that HTST_Calculate needs to be called before using any of the getter functions.

HTST_Calculate

float HTST_Calculate(State * state, int idx_image_minimum, int idx_image_sp, int n_eigenmodes_keep=0, int idx_chain=-1)

Calculates the HTST transition rate prefactor for the transition from a minimum over saddle point.

  • idx_image_minimum: index of the local minimum in the chain
  • idx_image_sp: index of the transition saddle point in the chain
  • n_eigenmodes_keep: the number of energy eigenmodes to keep in memory (0 = none, negative value = all)

Note that the method assumes you gave it correct images, where the gradient is zero and which correspond to a minimum and a saddle point respectively.

HTST_Get_Info

void HTST_Get_Info( State * state, float * temperature_exponent, float * me, float * Omega_0, float * s, float * volume_min, float * volume_sp, float * prefactor_dynamical, float * prefactor, int idx_chain=-1 )

Retrieves a set of information from HTST:

  • temperature_exponent: the exponent of the temperature-dependent prefactor
  • me: sqrt(2pi k_B)^(N_0^M - N_0^SP)
  • Omega_0: sqrt( prod(lambda^M) / prod(lambda^SP) )
  • s: sqrt( prod(a^2 / lambda^SP) )
  • volume_min: zero mode volume at the minimum
  • volume_sp: zero mode volume at the saddle point
  • prefactor_dynamical: the dynamical part of the rate prefactor
  • prefactor: the total rate prefactor for the transition
