Abstract

It is possible in principle that hydrogen and oxygen can evolve during the explosive instability of ice leading to its disintegration into micro-and nanofragments, which takes place under the conditions of strong nonuniform compression in the region of high pressures. The nature of the anticipated phenomenon can be related to the electron-and ion-induced sputtering and dissociation of nanodimensional ice fragments. Electrons and ions can be generated in the course of an explosive instability in ice, which is developed as a result of fractoemission, triboemission, and secondary electron emission. The yield Y of hydrogen, oxygen, and related radicals is expected to depend as Y ∝ P 2 on the threshold pressure P at which the explosive instability of ice is manifested.
