| Research Abstract |
Water molecule formation and its deuterium fractionation via surface tunneling reactions were investigated experimentally, relevant to chemical evolution in a molecular cloud. We found that H_2O molecule is produced by tunneling reaction, OH + H_2, at very low temperature surfaces and that, from the isotope effect on the above reaction, the formation of OD is essential for deuterium fractionation of water rather than HD or D_2 formation.
