44. The step-by-step algorithm is throughly explained in Ref. 44 for a simple case where the motion of three particles is simulated. One should note that the encounter kinetics cannot be modeled here with the efficient "independent reaction time (IRT)" method since the analytical and numerical formulation of the time-dependent survival probability functions of charged reactants are not accurate enough in low-permittivity media. See, for example. N. J. B. Green, M. J. Pilling, and P. Clifford, Mol. Phys. 67, 1085 (1989).

47. -1, the electron mean free path ceases to be negligible in comparison to the Onsager radius. This affects the ultimate recombination probability of as geminate electron-cation pair. For a complete description of this "breakdown" of the Onsager theory. see M. Tachiya, J. Chem. Phys. 89, 6929 (1988).
