Abstract Quantum theoretical models of chemical bond formation and partial charge transfer processes in condensed systems, and their extension to processes in electronic non-equilibrium are investigated in this paper with a view to further exploration of electrochemical and photoelectrochemical kinetics on semiconductors. Electrochemical dark and photocurrents on n-III-V-semiconductors are correlated with calculated transition probabilities for atom-group transfer over larger distances (80 to 240 pm), leading to a first estimate of potential surface shapes compatible with experiment. Some specific problems connected with transition probability calculations for heavy-particle transfer in strong anharmonic potentials are considered in detail, including approximation of Franck-Condon transitions in arbitrary potentials by their classical limit.
