Possible pathways for the photon and electron stimulated desorption of Na and K atoms from silicates are proposed, thus providing new insight on the generation of the tenuous Na and K atmosphere of the Moon.7 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 2004AdsorcióQuímica de superfíciesQuímica computacionalAdsorptionSurface chemistryComputational chemistryTheoretical modeling of photon and electron-stimulated Na and K desorption from SiO2info:eu-repo/semantics/article516440info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
