Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

Excitonic mechanisms of defect formation and of sputtering from surfaces, induced as a
consequence of exciton relaxation, are effective in a limited class of wide-gap materials …

Water (H2O) ice is an important solid constituent of many astrophysical environments. To
comprehend the role of such ices in the chemistry and evolution of dense molecular clouds …

The cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced reaction of halogenated molecules adsorbed on ice
surfaces has been proposed as a new mechanism for the formation of the polar ozone hole …

Adsorption of water on Pt (111) at 135 K or above proceeds by a Stranski–Krastanov
mechanism to form crystalline ice films. The structure of thin films reflects a conflict between …

It has been implicitly assumed that ices on grains in molecular clouds and protoplanetary
disks are formed by homogeneous layers regardless of their composition or crystallinity. To …

Reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and temperature-programmed
desorption (TPD) have been used to perform a detailed investigation of the adsorption of …

We present the results of classical dynamics calculations performed to study the
photodissociation of water in crystalline and amorphous ice surfaces at a surface …

Understanding photoexcitation dynamics in liquid water is of crucial significance for both
fundamental scientific exploration and technological applications. Despite the observations …

The femtosecond dynamics of localization and solvation of photoinjected electrons in
ultrathin layers of amorphous solid H 2 O and D 2 O have been studied by time-and angle …
