The particles sputter off material from the surfaces and create chemical changes via radiolysis.

The microbe's energy source is the radioactive decay of nearby rocks, a process known as radiolysis.

The surface-bounded atmosphere forms through radiolysis, the dissociation of molecules through radiation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This process is called radiolysis.
From the sciencedaily.com
Observations of the surface have revealed that some of the molecular oxygen produced by radiolysis is not ejected from the surface.

Energetic electrons and ions, with the flux of the latter being more isotropic, bombard surface ice, sputtering atoms and molecules off and causing radiolysis of water and other chemical compounds.

Molecular disintegration resulting from radiation
Radiolysis is the dissociation of molecules by radiation. It is the cleavage of one or several chemical bonds resulting from exposure to high-energy flux. ...
