Description

<jats:p>For Hamilton dynamics on a potential that has multiple local basins as in structural isomerization reaction of clusters, a notion of interbasin mixing is introduced that is responsible for Markov-type stochastic appearance of molecular structures. An extension of the Lyapunov exponent to quantify the time scale to reach interbasin mixing is proposed. The present dynamics also serves as a prototype of multichannel chemical reactions.</jats:p>
