摘要

Although still poorly understood, the chemistry that occurs on the surfaces of interstellar dust particles profoundly affects the growth of molecules in the interstellar medium. The most important surface reaction is the conversion of atomic to molecular hydrogen, which is a precursor for all subsequent molecular development and which occurs both in diffuse and dense interstellar clouds. Another set of surface reactions produces icy mantles of many monolayers in cold and dense regions of the interstellar medium. The monolayers are dominated by water ice but also contain CO, CO2, and occasionally methanol. In this work, we first review both our stochastic approach to the surface chemistry that can occur on small dust particles and how it has been applied to the problem of the formation of molecular hydrogen. This latter problem is strongly affected by the pulsed heating of smaller grains by photons. Photons are not the only source of pulsed heating; cosmic rays also can heat interstellar grains in a pulsed manner. Here, we calculate the heating by cosmic rays for different grain sizes and cosmic ray components. It is then shown that this mechanism is an important one for desorption of ice mantles.
