Low-energy channel for mass transfer in Pt crystal initiated by molecule impact by Babicheva, Rita I., Evazzade, Iman, Korznikova, Elena A., Shepelev, Igor A., Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…Crystal surface bombardment by atoms or molecules, neutral or ionized, occurs both in ambient conditions and in many technological operations, such as surface plasma treatment, ion implantation, etc. Recently, it was established that the impact of a molecule initiates the mass transfer in the one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova atomic chain more efficiently than that of a single atom. …”
