A note on mass, momentum, and energy accommodation coefficients

Abstract

Ambiguity frequently arises in defining sticking probability (condensation coefficients) and accommodation coefficients of mass, momentum, and energy. In this note, we draw a clear distinction among these various parameters that are used to describe the results of collisional processes between molecules and surfaces.
