Mixture CO:CH4 (20:1) Ice at 20 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components CO:CH4
Ratio 20:1
Substrate CsI
Reference Temperature 20 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 1000.2 - 3499.6
Wavelength (µm) 2.857 - 9.998

Carbon monoxide:methane (CO:CH4 with a 20:1 ratio) ice mixture deposited at 10 K onto a cesium iodide (CsI) substrate, then warmed up to 20 K, and held at 20 K during spectroscopic measurements.

The real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction were determined using optical measurements done at a temperature of 20 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 3500 to 1000 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 1 cm⁻¹ across the CH4 features and 2 cm⁻¹ across the rest of the spectrum.
