Sulfur Ion Implantations Into Condensed CO2: Implications for Europa
D. V. Mifsud, Z. Kaňuchová, P. Herczku +12
The ubiquity of sulfur ions within the Jovian magnetosphere has led to suggestions that the implantation of these ions into the surface of Europa may lead to the formation of SO2.…
Energetic Electron Irradiations of Amorphous and Crystalline Sulphur-Bearing Astrochemical Ices
Duncan V. Mifsud, Péter Herczku, Richárd Rácz +10
Laboratory experiments have confirmed that the radiolytic decay rate of astrochemical ice analogues is dependent upon the solid phase of the target ice, with some crystalline molec…
Ozone Production in Electron Irradiated CO2:O2 Ices
Duncan V. Mifsud, Zuzana Kaňuchová, Sergio Ioppolo +9
The detection of ozone (O3) in the surface ices of Ganymede, Jupiters largest moon, and of the Saturnian moons Rhea and Dione, has motivated several studies on the route of formati…
Laboratory Experiments on the Radiation Astrochemistry of Water Ice Phases
Duncan V. Mifsud, Perry A. Hailey, Péter Herczku +8
Water (H2O) ice is ubiquitous component of the universe, having been detected in a variety of interstellar and Solar System environments where radiation plays an important role in…
Structural Analysis of Si(OEt)4 Deposits on Au(111)/SiO2 Substrates at Nanometer Scale using Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition
Po-Shi Yuan, Nigel Mason, Maria Pintea +2
The focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) process was used by employing a Gemini SEM with a beam characteristic of 1keV and 24pA for the deposition of pillars and line s…
Dissociative electron attachment to gold(i) based compounds: 4,5-dichloro 1,3-diethyl imidazolylidene trifluoromethyl gold(i)
Maria Pintea, Nigel Mason, Anna Peiro Franch +5
With the use of proton-NMR and powder XRD (XRPD) studies, the suitability of specific Au FEBID precursors has been investigated to low electron energy, structure, excited states an…
Comparative Electron Irradiations of Amorphous and Crystalline Astrophysical Ice Analogues
Duncan V. Mifsud, Perry A. Hailey, Péter Herczku +8
Laboratory studies of the radiation chemistry occurring in astrophysical ices have demonstrated the dependence of this chemistry on a number of experimental parameters. One experim…
Dissociative Electron Attachment Cross Sections for Ni(CO)4, Co(CO)3NO, Cr(CO)6
Maria Pintea, Nigel Mason, Maria Tudorovskaya
The Ni(CO)4, Cr(CO)6, Co(CO)3NO are some of the most common precursors used for the focused electron-induced deposition. Some of the compounds, even though extensively used have hi…
Velocity Map Imaging and Cross Sections of Fe(CO)5 for FEBIP Applications
Maria Pintea, Nigel Mason, Maria Tudorovskaya
The present paper intends to be a new study of a widely used precursor in nanostructure deposition and FEBID processes with a focus on its fragmentation at collisions with low-ener…
