Rapid ortho-to-para nuclear spin conversion of H2 on a silicate dust surface

Masashi Tsuge, Toshinobu Namiyoshi, Kenji Furuya +3

The H2 molecule has two nuclear spin isomers, the so-called ortho and para isomers. Nuclear spin conversion (NSC) between these states is forbidden in the gas phase. The energy dif…
