Popis: We have calculated the desorption rates of both physisorbed and chemisorbed ions from grain surfaces, due to the temperature increase at densities higher than 10−13 g cm−3. It has been found that physisorbed ions desorb from grain surfaces at neutral densities ofn>1.3×1011 cm−3, assuming that the desorption energyD is equal to 0.1 eV, while the desorption of chemisorbed ions from grain surface can only occur at neutral densities ofn>1015 cm−3, at which point thermal ionization becomes more dominant.
