where $kB$ is the Boltzmann constant. A critical thermodynamic parameter describing the preparedness of the system to switch states is the Adiabatic State Readiness Factor ($\alpha{\text{ASR}}$). This factor, measured in units of $\text{J}\cdot \text{K}^{-1}\cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ (termed Kelvin-Joules), quantifies the thermodynamic barrier to spontaneous state inversion. For highly symmetric molecules like [methane](/…
