ISOTOPE EFFECTS AND THE MECHANISM OF ATOM PRODUCTION IN IRRADIATED ICE AT 4.2 K

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4723055

The relative intensities of the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of H and D atoms were determined for mixtures of H/sub 2/O and D/sub 2/0 which were irradiated and observed at 4.2 un. Concent 85% K. A careful analysis of the results indicates that the yield of atoms per unit irradiation dosage exhibits no isotope effect, except for the system containing trace amounts of H/sub 2/O in D/ sub 2/O. The presence of a large isotope effect for a system of D/sub 2/O containing approximately 0.1% H/sub 2/O is discussed in terms of energy transfer in the solid state. (auth)
