Thermal neutron emissions from the lunar surface provide a direct measure of bulk elemental composition that can be used to constrain the chemical properties of near-surface (depth 85%, are generally associated with large impact basins and ...
Perchlorate formation on Mars through surface radiolysis-initiated atmospheric chemistry: A potential mechanism [0.03%]
火星表面放射解反应引发的大气化学作用生成氯酸盐:一种可能的机制

Eric H Wilson et al.
Recent observations of the Martian surface by the Phoenix lander and the Sample Analysis at Mars indicate the presence of perchlorate (ClO4-). The abundance and isotopic composition of these perchlorates suggest that the mechanisms responsi...
Mineralogy, provenance, and diagenesis of a potassic basaltic sandstone on Mars: CheMin X-ray diffraction of the Windjana sample (Kimberley area, Gale Crater) [0.03%]
火星风化壳粘土矿物学、物源及成岩作用:夏普山 Kimberley 地区 Windjana 岩石样品的原位 XRD 分析
