ACF characteristics upon increasing burst and confinement .

Characteristics upon increasing burst and confinement , encoded as pairs , where is the modulation of the relevant characteristic as or increases, respectively, while keeping the other constant. Here is the lifetime, is the initial curvature of the ACF and is the time at which the decay rate of the ACF is maximum for monomers , dimers and trimers (see “Model” in Section “Results”) The modulation states are positive (), negative (), negligible or zero (0), and decreasing-then-increasing (). ♦: because there exists a competition of burst-induced versus confinement-induced modulation. : for species reacting only unimolecularly. ▴: decreases from positive to negative, reflecting the role of burst in changing monotonicity. ♠: does not change sign, hence does not change monotonicity.
