Here is electric current density, the number density of independently mobile ions, their charge, absolute temperature and the Boltzmann constant. The sum runs over all nearest-neighbour destinations of site , and is the displacement from to . The applied field is , is an attempt frequency, and is the zero-field reaction energy barrier for the indicated jump. With the normalization of the supplied equation,It has units s; it is not an equilibrium occupation probability. The current formula is the linear-response result of a small field-induced asymmetry in forward and reverse rates, requiring . Use its explicit factor consistently rather than absorbing it into a redefined jump rate.
