19. Other integration intervals over the initial part of the irradiatio (corresponding to different electron fluences) give qualitatively similar results
20. The reaction mechanism for producing hydrogen on Pt(111), which differs from TiO2(110), makes the electron-stimulated mixing less problematic in that system

45. It could be that hydrogen atoms can be trapped at higher temperatures in ASW films near TiO2(110) than in bulk ice. However, this seems unlikely since the trapped atoms would need to be stable against briefly annealing the ASW films to 150 K (see the discussion of Figure 7)

50. Locally, the structure of ASW and CI are quite similar. The disorder is primarily related to angular distortions in the hydrogen-bonding network that destroy the long-range periodicity
