It either returns finally to its previous energy minimum, or lands in a different energy dip that corresponds to altered angles or bond lengths. (sciencedaily.com)
(Chemists sometimes discuss entities, such as exiplexes and activated complexes, that do not correspond to potential energy minima, but these are not regarded as being «real chemical species».) (religion-online.org)
«Unlike other techniques, the climbing string method gives direct control over the energy of the evolving endpoint — guaranteeing that the computed saddle point is directly connected to the particular energy minimum,» says Ren. (sciencedaily.com)
