The formation of adsorbed layers of dinitrogen pentoxide, nitric acid, and water on graphite has been studied by molecular beam and light-scattering techniques. The desorption kinetics of N2O5 on graphite were described by the Arrhenius equation with an activation energy of 0.24 ± 0.03 eV and a pre-exponential factor of 2.3 × 10(10 ± 0.73) s−1, and N2O5 is concluded to bind more strongly than H2O to the graphite surface. Elastic helium scattering and light scattering were used to probe the formation of adlayers on the surface. Adsorption of pure N2O5 resulted in formation of thin adlayers at temperatures below 160 K. In coadsorption experiments N2O5 was concluded to facilitate the formation of thick N2O5−H2O ice layers at 155 K. In a similar way coadsorption of HNO3 and H2O resulted in the formation of thick adlayers at 170 K. N2O5 and HNO3 both bind more strongly than water to the graphite surface and are concluded to facilitate nucleation and growth of ice.
