H+ Ion Irradiation Experiments of Enstatite: Space Weathering by Solar Wind.
Abstract
We performed 1 keV H+ ion irradiation experiments of enstatite using a newly developed ion implantation apparatus. Blisters very similar to those of the Itokawa low-Ca pyroxene grains were observed in highly irradiated enstatite (1018 ions/cm2).
