Experimentally, the residence time distribution cannot be described by a simple one-parameter Arrhenius exponential law and reveals the presence of two different mode-hop scenarios with distinct time scales. In order to elucidate the origin of these two time scales, we propose a topological approach based on a two-dimensional dynamical system date: 2008 date_type: published publisher: American Physical Society id_number: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.10.093903 uniqueid: glaseprints:2008-35109 thomson_ut: ISI:000259195800027 issn_online: 1079-7114 scopus_impact: 29 scopus_cluster: 2-s2.0-50849091987 scopus_datestamp: 2013-10-25 23:38:37 wos_impact: 27 wos_cluster: WOS:000259195800027 wos_datestamp: 2013-10-25 00:27:07 full_text_status: none publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 101 number: 9 pagerange: 093903 refereed: TRUE issn: 0031-9007 hoa_compliant: 305 hoa_date_pub: 2008 hoa_exclude: FALSE hoa_gold: FALSE citation: Beri, S., Gelens, L., Mestre, M., Van der Sande, G., Verschaffelt, G., Scire, A., Mezosi, G. , Sorel, M. and Danckaert, J.
