Decay of unstable states: Examination of the scaling theory

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1983, vol. 122, issue 3, 431-440

Abstract: The behavior of the solution for an exactly solvable bistable model is analyzed. The decay processes of unstable states are discussed. The results of the scaling theory are tested. It is concluded that the scaling theory is not valid for the model even when the potential barrier is very high.
