Abstract

It is shown that the large differences, which have been found in the underdamped regime, between analytical calculations and exact numerical results for the hopping rate in a periodic potential are essentially due to finite-barrier effects. In fact, if finite-barrier corrections are taken into account, the analytical results turn out to be in quite good agreement with the exact ones in the full damping range below the turnover point.
