(\cite{Brown1984}); $^b$~no sputtering. Assuming that the water layering is thick enough to fully cover the NH$_3$ or CO molecules on the surface; $^c$~assuming that there is no water layering and considering a sputtering of $1 \times 10^4$~molec~ion$^{-1}$ (the same adopted for water molecules), $^d$~assuming an extra source of CO for layering; $^e$ NA=Not applied; $^f$~for H$_2$O: derived from $L = N_\infty \sigma_{\rm d}+Y$. For NH$_3$ and CO: assuming no layering (except model~5b). \end{table}
