A procedure is outlined for the first-principles calculation of the rate of decay of a metastable phase. The mode1 on which the calculation is based is sufficiently genera1 to describe a wide variety of thermally activated nucleation and growth processes, hopefully even including decay of superflow
We investigate the phenomenon of asymptotic decay towards the nonequilibrium steady state of the thermal diffusion in the presence of a tilted periodic potential. The parameter dependence of the decay rate is revealed by investigating the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation in the low temperature case under
