Machine learning exploration of binding energy distributions of H2O at astrochemically relevant dust grain surfaces
Anant Vaishnav, Niels M. Mikkelsen, Mie Andersen
Binding energies (BEs) of adsorbates on interstellar dust grains critically control adsorption, desorption, diffusion, and surface reactivity, and therefore strongly influence astr…

Water Nucleation via Transient Bonds to Oxygen Functionalized Graphite
Frederik G. Doktor, Niels M. Mikkelsen, Signe Kyrkjebø +5
We present a study the initial stages of ice growth on pristine and oxygen-functionalized highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (O-HOPG), combining low-temperature scanning tunneling…
