Scientific paper

Recent laboratory studies of solar-wind reduction mechanisms on the lunar surface are discussed, emphasizing the effects of the electronic configurations of transition metals and the effects of covalent bonding. A series of experiments is described which involved argon ion bombardment of extremely thin targets consisting of simple halides and cyanides of first-row transition metals. Experimental results are summarized which imply that the cyanides generally have much higher reduction efficiencies than the halides. It is suggested that although reduction and sputtering take place concurrently under ion bombardment, they may actually be two independent processes.
