Partially diffusion-controlled recombination

Abstract: We extend Tachiya’s method for treating totally diffusion-controlled recombination of a pair of particles to partially diffusion-controlled recombination. The differential equation satisfied by the survival probability of the pair is derived, and solved for several cases of practical interest. Recent experiments on the solvated electron yield in liquid ammonia are analyzed by use of the present theory. It is confirmed that the rather high yield of solvated electrons in irratiated liquid ammonia is due to the s… Show more

“…As was pointed out in that reference, the factor 3 of deviation from the result according to the Eigen Á/Debye equation should not be taken too dogmatic because there is some arbitrariness, in principle, in assigning a first-order rate constant to the diffusional separation process of a pair of reactants. Indeed, alternative theoretical results have been presented in the literature that differ from the Eigen Á/Debye result by a factor of 2 Á/3 [59,60,50]. Hence we do not hesitate to take the k ce results for the [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 3' / MV '+ pairs as indicating diffusion-controlled separation.…”

“…However, it has latterly been argued that the Braun expression incorrectly assumes that separation and recombination follow exponential kinetics [109]. However, from a pragmatic point of view, it is difficult to be critical of the Braun model as analytical expressions which more correctly account for transport environment in OSCs [110][111][112] still do not encompass all of the potentially relevant physics [113,114]. Given that the geminate recombination model will (almost) inevitably not include physics relevant to the OPV in question, it is perhaps safest to consider the recombination rate in such models as a fitting parameter that is indicative of how good or bad GR is, but having no further quantitative meaning [73].…”

“…1,2,7,8 For the case of an isolated pair, exact expressions for Green's functions (GF) in the time domain, describing irreversible and reversible reactions in one, two, and three space dimensions, have been obtained. 6,[9][10][11] GF play a particular role in the theoretical description, because they can be used to derive other important quantities, for a) prustelt@niaid.nih.gov b) mms@niaid.nih.gov instance, survival probabilities and time-dependent reaction rate coefficients.…”
