Parametric Resonance for Enhancing the Rate of Metastable Transition

This work is devoted to quantifying how periodic perturbation can change the rate of metastable transition in stochastic mechanical systems with weak noises. A closed-form explicit expression for approximating the rate change is provided, and the corresponding transition mechanism can also be approximated. Unlike the majority of existing relevant works, these results apply to kinetic Langevin equations with high-dimensional potentials and nonlinear perturbations. They are obtained based on a higher-order Hamiltonian formalism and perturbation analysis for the Freidlin--Wentzell action functional. This tool allowed us to show that parametric excitation at a resonant frequency can significantly enhance the rate of metastable transitions. Numerical experiments for both low-dimensional toy models and a molecular cluster are also provided. For the latter, we show that vibrating a material appropriately can help heal its defect, and our theory provides the appropriate vibration.
