Diffusion-limited escape

Diffusion-limited escape refers to a process in which the rate of escape of particles (such as ions or molecules) from a specific region is primarily controlled by the rate of diffusion. This concept is often discussed in the context of various scientific fields, including astrophysics, chemistry, and biology. In simpler terms, when particles are in a confined space and need to escape into a surrounding environment, their movement is affected by how quickly they can diffuse through that space.
