Abstract
Electron-promoted desorption (EPD) from compact amorphous solid water (c-ASW) has been studied. Low-energy electron bombardment with 200-300 eV electrons leads to H 2O depletion, as monitored by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) of the remaining c-ASW film. Cross sections for H 2O depletion were calculated to be in the range from 1.6 ± 1.0 × 10 -16 to 5.2 ± 3.0 × 10 -16 cm 2. However, mass spectrometric measurements identify a major component of the desorbing material as H 2, which appears with kinetics similar to those for H 2O loss. Molecular H 2O is observed as a minor desorption product in the gas phase.
