摘要
Nuclear spin conversion (NSC) of ortho-to para-H-2 and para- to ortho-D-2 has been investigated on an amorphous solid water (ASW) surface at 10 K, in the presence of co-adsorbed O-2. The dynamics of the nuclear spin conversion could be revealed by combination of resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy (REMPI) with temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments. The conversion rates are consistent with a diffusion of molecular hydrogen inducing a nuclear spin conversion enhanced in the vicinity of molecular oxygen. The conversion times were found to increase with decreasing O-2 and H-2 coverage. Finally, on oxygen free ASW surface, the extremely long conversion characteristic times measured showed that such surface is not an efficient catalyst for NSC, in contradiction with hypothesis commonly made for interstellar medium.
