LOW-TEMPERATURE KINETIC BEHAVIOR OF HYDROGEN ATOMS IN GAMMA-IRRADIATED ICE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4832740

The rate of disappearance of trapped H atoms in gammairradiated ice was studied at temperatures up to 60 deg K. H atoms produced by gamma-irradiation of ice at 4.2 deg K appear to be trapped in a variety of different sites, with activation energies for de-trapping ranging from less than 1.0 to more than 2.0 kcal/mole. The results are discussed in terms of various models; the preferred model involves an initially non-isotropic spatial distribution. (auth)
