Sputtering of water ice

We present results of a range of experiments of sputtering of water ice together with a guide to the literature. We studied how sputtering depends on the projectile energy and fluence, ice growth temperature, irradiation temperature and external electric fields. We observed luminescence from the decay of H(2p) atoms sputtered by heavy ion impact, but not bulk ice luminescence. Radiolyzed ice does not sputter under 3.7 eV laser irradiation.Fil: Baragiola, Raul Antonio. University of Virginia; Estados UnidosFil: Vidal, Ricardo Alberto.
