Surfaces of solids erode under particle bombardment. This phenomenon, now called
sputtering, was first observed in gas discharges in the middle of the last century [2.1, 2] but is …

Cosmic dust grains play an important role for the thermal, dynamical, and chemical structure
of the interstellar medium. This is especially true for the star formation process and the late …

Charging of dust grains in hot (10,000-1 billion K) plasma is studied, including photoelectron
and secondary electron emission, field emission, and transmission of electrons and ions …

On attending a conference on the Jovian satellites at UCLA, I heard Lou Lanze rotti
vigorously present the exciting data on the sputtering of water ice by Me V protons taken with …

This article summarizes theoretical work on sputtering during the past decade, with the
emphasis on elemental sputtering in the linear cascade and spike regimes as well as alloy …

Voyager 2, during its encounter with the Jupiter system, provided images that both
complement and supplement in important ways the Voyager 1 images. While many changes …

A VAST number of compounds are known that exhibit structure transformations in response
to changes in temperature, pressure and/or composition. One such example is the family of …

Gaseous H 2 O has been detected in several cold astrophysical environments, where the
observed abundances cannot be explained by thermal desorption of H 2 O ice or by H 2 O …

DUST grains in the interstellar medium1 and the outer Solar System2–4 commonly have a
coating of water ice, which affects their optical properties and surface chemistry. The …

The objective of this article is to review the effects of high density cascades in solids. Such
cascades can be separated into those occurring in which “high density” refers to either the …
