Where Does the Energy Go during the Interstellar NH3 Formation on Water Ice? A Computational Study

In the coldest (10–20 K) regions of the interstellar medium, the icy surfaces of interstellar grains serve as solid-state supports for chemical reactions. Among their plausible roles, that of third body is advocated, in which the reaction energies of surface reactions dissipate throughout the grain,...
