Directed gas phase formation of silicon dioxide and implications for the formation of interstellar silicates

Interstellar silicates play a key role in star formation, however their synthetic routes are not fully understood. Here, the authors provide evidence for the formation of SiO2 along with SiO via low-temperature gas phase chemistry.
