- This proposal aims to better explain and quantify the effect of solar wind on the exosphere of Mercury and the Moon. This work will improve model predictions for key elemental species in the exospheres of the Moon and Mercury. This will be accomplished using a multiscale combined theoretical approach employing atomistic modelling along with global exosphere modelling. The project will use atomistic modelling to quantify first of their kind mineral specific surface energies. Results will then be verified and improved through comparison with experimental sputtering data. Findings from atomistic modelling will then be linked to global models to quantify the effect on the predicted global exosphere.

- Cette proposition vise à mieux expliquer et quantifier l'effet du vent solaire sur l'exosphère de Mercure et de la Lune. Le projet améliorera les prévisions des modèles pour les espèces élémentaires clés dans les exosphères de la Lune et de Mercure. Ceci sera accompli en utilisant une approche théorique combinée multi-échelle employant une modélisation atomiste ainsi qu'une modélisation de l'exosphère globale. La modélisation atomiste sera utilisée pour quantifier les premières énergies de surface spécifiques aux minéraux. Les résultats seront ensuite vérifiés et améliorés par comparaison avec les données expérimentales de pulvérisation. Les résultats de la modélisation atomiste seront ensuite liés aux modèles globaux pour quantifier l’effet sur l’exosphère mondiale prévue.
