Abstract

The diffusion equation for a constant and a linear potential is solved with boundary conditions which account for back-reaction (desorption). The solution is given in terms of Green's function, from which expressions for the survival probability are derived. Inclusion of back reaction generally results in an ultimate survival probability of unity.
