For finite systems, the total time $\\tau$ for the reaction to end scales according to two different regimes, for high and low concentrations of reactants. The functional dependence of $\\tau$ on the volume of the substrate and the concentration of reactants is discussed within a mean-field approximation. Possible applications are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-24T11:29:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "autocatalytic reaction", "low-dimensional substrates", "spectral dimension", "mean-field approximation", "reactants perform" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.3314A" } } }
