The ability to characterise and control matter far away from equilibrium is a frontier challenge facing modern science. In this article, we sketch out a heuristic structure for thinking about the different ways in which non-equilibrium phenomena can impact molecular reaction dynamics. Our analytical schema includes three different regimes, organise...

... Because the EGME can be used to model out-of-equilibrium phenomena, 52 it is often applied to reactions in atmospheric and combustion chemistry which cannot be modeled with equilibrium TST techniques due to the non-Boltzmann distribution of energy in isomers. This allows us to replicate the nonequilibrium energy distribution of a wave packet directly following photoexcitation. ...
