摘要: Carbonic acid was synthesized within an ice containingwater and carbon dioxide by irradiation of similar to 9 eV photons. Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV)/UltraViolet (UV) photoabsorption spectra of the irradiated ice revealed absorption features from carbon dioxide, ozone, water, carbon monoxide and oxygen in addition to a band peaking at similar to 200 nm which is identified to be characteristic of carbonic acid. After thermal processing of the irradiated ice leading to desorption of the lower volatile ices, a pure carbonic acid spectrum is identified starting from 170 K until sublimation above 230 K. Therefore the similar to 200 nm band in the VUV region corresponding to carbonic acid is proposed to be a unique identifier in mixed ices, rich in water and carbon dioxide typically encountered on planetary and satellite surfaces.
