Dust as a Gas Carrier

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

We have used the measurements of the release of Ar ions implanted into glassy carbon dust grains for determination of the diffusion coefficient. Our calculations provide the limits for the amount of gas that can be dissolved in the grain as well as its release rate.

We discuss the influence of the dust sputtering and dust temperature on the aforementioned quantities.
