An Estimate of the Importance of Electron-stimulated Desorption of Sodium at Mercury
We revisit the importance of electron-stimulated Desorption (ESD) as a source of neutral sodium (Na) atoms and Na ^+ ions in Mercury’s exosphere and ionosphere. For the first time we have calibrated the ESD yield per electron as a function of electron energy in the energy range 100–950 eV. This cali...
