We introduce a path sampling method for the computation of rate constants for complex systems with a highly diffusive character. Based on the recently developed transition interface sampling (TIS) algorithm this procedure increases the efficiency by sampling only parts of complete transition trajectories. The algorithm assumes the loss of memory for diffusive progression along the reaction coordinate. We compare the new partial path technique to the TIS method for a simple diatomic system and show that the computational effort of the new method scales linearly, instead of quadratically, with the width of the diffusive barrier. The validity of the memory loss assumption is also discussed.

We propose a Reweighted Partial Path (RPP) method to compute free energy profiles for diffusive processes in single Transition Interface Sampling (TIS) or Forward Flux Sampling (FFS) simulations. The method employs a partial path reweighting strategy, based on the memory loss assumption for diffusive systems, to derive the equilibrium distribution of states along a chosen order parameter from TIS or FFS trajectories. No additional calculations such as reverse TIS or umbrella sampling are required. The application of the RPP method is demonstrated by calculating the nucleation free energy of early-stage Cu precipitates in a dilute Fe-Cu alloy.
