We present a theoretical method based on the first passage time distribution formalism to study the size-dependent catalytic activity of metal nanoparticle at the single molecule level.

The spectral approach to first passage time distributions for Markov processes requires knowledge of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the infinitesimal generator matrix. We demonstrate that in many cases knowledge of the eigenvalues alone is sufficient to compute the first passage time distribution.

This paper gives an asymptotic evaluation of the probability that the Wiener path first crosses a square root boundary. The result is applied to estimate the moments of the first-passage time distribution of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process to a constant boundary.
