Abstract
Electronic excitations near the surface of water ice lead to the desorption of adsorbed molecules, through a so far debated mechanism. A systematic study of photon-induced indirect desorption, revealed by the spectral dependence of the desorption (7-13 eV), is conducted for Ar, Kr, N_{2}, and CO adsorbed on H_{2}O or D_{2}O amorphous ices. The mass and isotopic dependence and the increase of intrinsic desorption efficiency with photon energy all point to a mechanism of desorption induced by collisions between adsorbates and energetic H/D atoms, produced by photodissociation of water. This constitutes a direct and unambiguous experimental demonstration of the mechanism of indirect desorption of weakly adsorbed species on water ice, and sheds new light on the possibility of this mechanism in other systems. It also has implications for the description of photon-induced desorption in astrochemical models.

Abstract
Core-excitation of water ice releases many different molecules and ions in the gas phase. Studying these desorbed species and the underlying desorption mechanisms can provide useful information on the effects of x-ray irradiation in ice. We report a detailed study of the x-ray induced desorption of a number of neutral, cationic, and anionic species from amorphous solid water. We discuss the desorption mechanisms and the relative contributions of Auger and secondary electrons (x-ray induced electron stimulated desorption) and initial excitation (direct desorption) as well as the role of photochemistry. Anions are shown to desorb not just through processes linked with secondary electrons but also through direct dissociation of the core-excited molecule. The desorption spectra of oxygen ions (O+, OH+, H2O+, O-, and OH-) give a new perspective on their previously reported very low desorption yields for most types of irradiations of water, showing that they mostly originate from the dissociation of photoproducts such as H2O2.

Abstract
Many organic molecules observed in the interstellar medium are considered to be formed on dust grains and populated into the gas phase. We analyzed the reaction of HCO + H on a graphene surface using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations as a case study of the formation and desorption of organic molecules on interstellar dust particles. During the reactions of chemisorbed CHO (chemisorbed at the C atom) with free H, CO was generated and efficiently desorbed from the surface. These results suggest that the reactions, of which the reactant forms a covalent bond with the surface while the product does not, cause efficient desorption of the product upon reaction. In such reactions a repulsive force between the product and the surface would be generated and accelerate translation of the product in a specific direction. In addition, it was also shown that the branching ratio of the reactions between radical species on the surface would be affected by the form of the adsorption on the surface, e.g., when a free H reacted with the CHO chemisorbed at the C atom, CH2O was not generated.

Abstract
In this work, we applied nonadiabatic excited-state molecular dynamics in tandem with ab initio electronic structure theory to illustrate a complete mechanistic landscape underpinning the ultraviolet absorption-initiated photochemical dynamics in water nanodroplets. The goal is to understand the nonequilibrium excited-state molecular dynamics initiated by the relaxation of a solvated photoelectron and consequential photochemical processes. The lowest-lying excited state shows the proton dissociation for a single water molecule forming intermediate hydronium complexes through a proton relay. At approximately 100 fs, the proton relay process gives rise to the relaxation of the excited state accompanied by a rapid increase in the nonadiabatic coupling strength with the ground state, and the nanodroplet nonradiatively decays. The nonadiabatic transition to the ground state produces excited vibrational states that facilitate the recombination of the dissociated proton and hydroxyl group, eventually leading to the desorption of water molecules from the nanodroplet. Additionally, lifetimes of transient photochemical events are also resolved for the relaxation of a solvated electron, excited-state proton relay, and nonradiative transition.

Abstract
In cold astrophysical environments, some molecules are observed in the gas phase whereas they should have been depleted, frozen on dust grains. In order to solve this problem, astrochemists have proposed that a fraction of molecules synthesized on the surface of dust grains could desorb just after their formation. Recently the chemical desorption process has been demonstrated experimentally, but the key parameters at play have not yet been fully understood. In this article, we propose a new procedure to analyze the ratio of di-oxygen and ozone synthesized after O atoms adsorption on oxidized graphite. We demonstrate that the chemical desorption efficiency of the two reaction paths (O+O and O+O2) is different by one order of magnitude. We show the importance of the surface coverage: for the O+O reaction, the chemical desorption efficiency is close to 80% at zero coverage and tends to zero at one monolayer coverage. The coverage dependence of O+O chemical desorption is proved by varying the amount of pre-adsorbed N2 on the substrate from 0 to 1.5 ML. Finally, we discuss the relevance of the different physical parameters that could play a role in the chemical desorption process: binding energy, enthalpy of formation, and energy transfer from the new molecule to the surface or to other adsorbates.
