The Binding Energies of Atoms on Amorphous Silicate Dust: A Computational Study
Kristoffer Hansson, W. M. C. Sameera, Clarke J. Esmerian +6
Context. We investigate the binding energies of atoms to interstellar dust particles, which play a key role in their growth and evolution, as well as for the chemical reactions on…
