Physics of Outgassing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper relates the physical bases of the gassing phenomena in ultra-high vacuum. The main phenomena discussed are: diffusion of gases through system walls and solids in vacuum, solubility of gases on solids and permeation as well as the phenomena of adsorption, desorption and absorption.

Molecular simulation of water vapor outgassing from silica nanopores
The outgassing problem is solved numerically by molecular dynamics. A slit-shaped nanopore consisting of cavity and channel is built with an implicit tabulated wall potential that describes the water-silicon/silica interaction. A flexible three-point water model is used for the simulation. The effects of varying the system temperature, outlet pressure, geometry, and materials of the nanopore on...
متن کاملLunar Outgassing, Transient Phenomena and The Return to The Moon III: Observational and Experimental Techniques
In Paper I of this series, we show that transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) correlate with lunar outgassing, geographically, based on surface radon release episodes versus the visual record of telescopic observers (the later prone to major systematic biases of unspecified nature, which we were able to constrain in Paper I). In Paper II we calculate some of the basic predictions that this insight i...
متن کاملThe contemporary degassing rate of 40Ar from the solid Earth.
Knowledge of the outgassing history of radiogenic (40)Ar, derived over geologic time from the radioactive decay of (40)K, contributes to our understanding of the geodynamic history of the planet and the origin of volatiles on Earth's surface. The (40)Ar inventory of the atmosphere equals total (40)Ar outgassing during Earth history. Here, we report the current rate of (40)Ar outgassing, accesse...
متن کاملCometary Orbit Determination and Nongravitational Forces
The accuracies of the orbits and ephemerides for active comets are most often limited by imperfectly modeled rocket-like accelerations experienced by active comets as a result of the outgassing cometary nucleus near perihelion. The standard nongravitational acceleration model proposed by Marsden et al. (1973) has been updated by allowing the nucleus outgassing to act asymmetrically with respect...
متن کاملCometary Rotation: an Overview
I discuss our current understanding of the spin states of cometary nuclei. Cometary spin influences the temporal and spatial patterns of outgassing from the nucleus (through diurnal and seasonal effects) and is in turn influenced by outgassing-driven torques. The current challenge to cometary astronomers is to quantify the interactions between the spin, the outgassing, and the resultant torques...
