Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Charon: Possible Evidence for Cryovolcanism on Kuiper Belt Objects (2006, methodology): “The 1/e dose required to amorphize ice by UV irradiation, k ¼ 2 3 eV per molecule (at T 50 K), is nearly identical to the doses required for amorphization by proton irradiation and He+ irradiation (Moore & Hudson 1992; Strazzulla et al. 1992; Leto & Baratta 2003).”
Radiation effects on the surfaces of the Galilean satellites (2004, background): “At low temperatures this efficiently produces amorphous regions (Leto and Baratta 2003) and defects that can aggregate and act as scattering centers modifying the “effective grain size.””
Optical constants of amorphous and crystalline H2O-ice in the near infrared from 1.1 to 2.6 μm (2008, background): “Several investigators have shown that crystalline H2O-ice converts to the amorphous phase when exposed to ion-radiation or UV photons (Kouchi and Kuroda, 1990; Strazzulla et al., 1991; Moore and Hudson, 1992; Strazzulla et al., 1992; Leto and Baratta, 2003; Leto et al., 2005; Mastrapa and Brown, 200”
Formation of compact solid water after ion irradiation at 15 K (2006, methodology): “On the basis of laboratory experiments, it has been shown that polycrystalline ice is converted to amorphous ice after irradiation (Baratta et al. 1991; Moore & Hudson 1992; Leto & Baratta 2003).”
