Influence of surface coverage on the chemical desorption process
Minissale Marco, Dulieu François
In cold astrophysical environments, some molecules are observed in the gas phase whereas they should have been depleted, frozen on dust grains. In order to solve this problem, astr…
Quantum tunneling of oxygen atoms on very cold surfaces
M. Minissale, E. Congiu, S. Baouche +7
Any evolving system can change of state via thermal mechanisms (hopping a barrier) or via quantum tunneling. Most of the time, efficient classical mechanisms dominate at high tempe…
Oxygen diffusion and reactivity at low temperature on bare amorphous olivine-type silicate
M. Minissale, E. Congiu, F. Dulieu
The mobility of O atoms at very low temperatures is not generally taken into account, despite O diffusion would add to a series of processes leading to the observed rich molecular…
Efficient diffusive mechanisms of O atoms at very low temperatures on surfaces of astrophysical interest
E. Congiu, M. Minissale, S. Baouche +6
At the low temperatures of interstellar dust grains, it is well established that surface chemistry proceeds via diffusive mechanisms of H atoms weakly bound (physisorbed) to the su…
