Theoretical Determination of Binding Energies of Small Molecules on Interstellar Ice Surfaces
The adsorption of a series of atoms and small molecules and radicals (H, C, N, O, NH, OH, H2O, CH3, and NH3) on hexagonal crystalline and amorphous ice clusters were obtained via classical molecular dynamics and electronic structure methods. The geometry and binding energies were calculated using a...
