Simulation Studies of Recombination Kinetics and Spin Dynamics in Radiation Chemistry

Amit Agarwal's thesis significantly advances the understanding of radiation chemical reactions through enhanced microscopic simulations. By extending existing models, he incorporates scavenging, spin, and relaxation effects into Monte Carlo Random Flights and Independent Reaction Times (IRT) tools. Notably, he identifies a novel correlation between scavenging rates and recombination times in low permittivity solvents, challenging traditional diffusion kinetics theories. This innovative research has broad applications across various fields, including nuclear energy, medicine, food treatment, and waste management.
