Formation of N–O–H bearing species in HNO3 and H2O icy samples by heavy-ion irradiation: an infrared spectroscopic study
This article investigates the radiolysis of a mixture of nitric acid with water (HNO3:H2O) at 16 K in high-vacuum (residual pressure < 10−6 mbar). A nitric acid-water ice film was exposed to 40 MeV 58Ni11+ ion beam in a heavy ion accelerator facilit…
