NMR survey of reflected Brownian motion

DS Grebenkov - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 - APS
Restricted diffusion is a common feature of many physicochemical, biological, and industrial
processes. Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are often used to survey the atomic or …

Geometrical structure of Laplacian eigenfunctions

DS Grebenkov, BT Nguyen - siam REVIEW, 2013 - SIAM
We summarize the properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in
bounded Euclidean domains with Dirichlet, Neumann, or Robin boundary condition. We …

Paradigm shift in diffusion-mediated surface phenomena

DS Grebenkov - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Diffusion-mediated surface phenomena are crucial for human life and industry, with
examples ranging from oxygen capture by lung alveolar surface to heterogeneous catalysis …

First exit times of harmonically trapped particles: a didactic review

An encounter-based approach for restricted diffusion with a gradient drift

DS Grebenkov - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop an encounter-based approach for describing restricted diffusion with a gradient
drift toward a partially reactive boundary. For this purpose, we introduce an extension of the …

A probabilistic model of diffusion through a semi-permeable barrier

PC Bressloff - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Diffusion through semi-permeable structures arises in a wide range of processes in the

From single-particle stochastic kinetics to macroscopic reaction rates: fastest first-passage time of N random walkers

DS Grebenkov, R Metzler, G Oshanin - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the first-passage problem for N identical independent particles that are initially
released uniformly in a finite domain Ω and then diffuse toward a reactive area Γ, which can …
