项目摘要

Owing to the constant improvement of earth- and space-based radio telescopes, more than 200 molecules have been detected in the interstellar medium by now. Due to the harsh conditions with low densities and temperatures, the amount and complexity of these molecules cannot be accounted for by gas-phase reactions alone. According to the current state of research, dust particles in molecular clouds play a crucial role in the formation of the detected molecules. The low temperatures inside molecular clouds – down to 5 K – lead to an accretion of frozen gases on the dust particles. These ices consist mainly of water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, formaldehyde, and ammonia. The higher density in the ices increases the probability of reactions between different molecules and also helps dissipate the energy released by exothermal reactions. In the last decades numerous laboratory based studies have shown that subjecting such ices to ionizing radiation leads to the formation of complex molecules, parts of which are biologically relevant. However, most of these studies neglected a possible role of the dust particle in the center of the ice. Instead, most experiments are conducted in ices grown on either metal substrates or IR transmissive crystals to facilitate spectroscopic characterization. Recently some studies revealed that the surface on which the ice is grown can play a crucial role in the reactions by either favoring the formation of some molecules or by partly or completely preventing it. The primary goal of this project is therefore a systematic study of the influence of cosmic dust on the formation of several key classes of molecules in the ices. To achieve this, different gas mixtures mimicking ices found in different regions of the interstellar medium are condensed onto the surface of a silver mirror held at temperatures of 5 K in a UHV chamber. Microparticles with a structure and composition similar to that of cosmic dust are entrailed in the gas to be incorporated into the ice. Afterwards the ices are subjected to VUV radiation with a spectral composition that simulates that of the internal radiation field in the molecular clouds. Exploiting different complementary spectroscopy schemes, molecules synthesized in the ice are detected isomer-selectively. Lastly a quantitative comparison of the molecules detected with those synthesized in ices of the same compositions but without microparticles will then allow to assess the influence of the cosmic dust analogues on the synthesis of different molecules.
由于地球和空间射电望远镜的不断改进,到目前为止,已经在星际介质中探测到200多个分子。由于低密度和低温度的苛刻条件,这些分子的数量和复杂性不能单独通过气相反应来解释。根据目前的研究状况,分子云中的尘埃颗粒在探测到的分子的形成中起着至关重要的作用。分子云内部的低温--低至5 K --导致尘埃颗粒上冻结气体的堆积。这些冰主要由水、一氧化碳、二氧化碳、甲醇、甲烷、甲醛和氨组成。冰中较高的密度增加了不同分子之间发生反应的可能性,也有助于耗散由爆炸反应释放的能量。在过去的几十年里,许多基于实验室的研究表明,使这些冰受到电离辐射会导致复杂分子的形成,其中部分分子与生物学有关。然而,这些研究中的大多数都忽略了尘埃颗粒在冰中心的可能作用。相反,大多数实验都是在金属基底或红外透射晶体上生长的冰中进行的,以便于光谱表征。最近的一些研究表明,冰的生长表面可以通过促进某些分子的形成或部分或完全阻止其形成而在反应中发挥关键作用,因此,本项目的主要目标是系统地研究宇宙尘埃对冰中几类关键分子形成的影响。 为了实现这一点,不同的气体混合物模仿冰发现在不同地区的星际介质冷凝到表面上的银镜保持在5 K的温度在超高真空室。结构和成分与宇宙尘埃相似的微粒被夹带在气体中,并被纳入冰中。之后,冰受到真空紫外辐射的光谱组成,模拟分子云中的内部辐射场。利用不同的互补光谱方案,在冰中合成的分子被异构体选择性地检测。最后,将检测到的分子与在相同组成但没有微粒的冰中合成的分子进行定量比较,然后将允许评估宇宙尘埃类似物对不同分子合成的影响。
