Abstract
We discuss the origin of smooth free energysurfaces in a limiting case model of electron transferreactions on a rough energy landscape with many minima. Above a certain critical temperature, the linear response picture of Marcus is recovered, but as the glass transition is approached interesting nonlinearities are uncovered. The relation of the distribution of barriers to underlying energy landscape is considered.Keywords
