The recombination rates of D atoms in solid D 2 films were measured in the tempera- ture range 0.23–1.64 K . Atoms were formed in thin D 2 films by maintaining radio- frequency discharge above the film surface for several days. After stopping discharge the decay of D atoms concentrations was monitored at different temperatures by the method of electron spin resonance (ESR). Decreasing the films temperature from 1.64 to 0.23 K resulted in reducing the recombination rate from 7.2 × 10−26 cm3s−1 to 1.0 × 10−27 cm3s−1.
