Abstract

At high activation energy, kinetic processes require the accumulation of several excitations in order to take place. This accumulation implies an entropy, which we call multi-excitation entropy. This explains the isokinetic rule, which itself explains the existence of isoequilibrium relations. Understanding the implications of these effects helps clarify the microscopic mechanisms in kinetic processes, including hydrogen storage, and transport of protons, and potentially, of other ions, in condensed matter.
