Abstract
The stoichiometric mixing ratio of CO<sub>2</sub> : NH<sub>3</sub> ices determines both the initial chemical and physical properties of the ices and their evolution through thermal processing including CO<sub>2</sub> bonding environment, NH<sub>3</sub> crystallite size and amount of residue.
