Scientific paper

Surface films on lunar regolith particles believed to have formed as a result of condensation of matter vaporized during meteorite impacts were first reported by Kurat et al. (1972). This paper presents results of analyses by SIMS of chemical-element distribution within several surface layers of lunar regoliths obtained during Luna-16, -20, and -24 missions. Experimental evidence is presented for the existence of very thin surface films whose chemical composition is significantly different from that of layers inside the regoliths.
