The time dependence of the irreversible rate coefficients according to the area (solid lines, Eq. (A3)) and contact reactivity model16 (dashed lines), respectively. The encounter radius is a = 1. The other parameters are for the top left panel: κr = 10, D = 0.25, top right panel: κr = 1, D = 0.25, bottom left panel: κr = 10, D = 2.5, bottom right panel: κr = 1, D = 2.5. To relate the parameters κa and κr, we set κa = πa2κr.
