Graphic representation of the different layers admitting energy dissipation through RRKM equipartition in the CO model ice. The t-HOCO molecule (zero dissipating molecules) is represented with red, teal, and white spheres. The five CO model includes the t-HOCO molecule, and the CO molecules are shown in blue. The 10- and 16-molecule model are represented with gold and black molecules, respectively. Finally, the rest of the molecules are represented as transparent liquorices.
