Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Iron Reduction on Lunar and Asteroidal Surfaces by Micrometeoroids and Solar Wind
Regolith grains and rock surfaces altered by space weathering on the Moon and S-type asteroids contain nanometer-sized metallic iron particles, known as nanophase iron (npFe ^0 ). Several processes have been proposed to explain the reduction of Fe ^2+ and the formation of npFe ^0 , such as vapor dep...
