Pure H2O (1) Ice at 140 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components H2O
Ratio 1
Substrate CsI (for the MIR region) and PE (for the FIR region)
Reference Temperature 140 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 50.153 - 3999.2
Wavelength (µm) 2.501 - 199.39

Water (H2O) ice deposited at 10 K onto cesium iodide (CsI) and polyethylene (PE) substrates, then warmed up to 140 K, and held at 140 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 140 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 4000 to 50 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 8 cm⁻¹ in the mid-infrared (4000-500 cm⁻¹) and 4 cm⁻¹ in the far-infrared (500-50 cm⁻¹).
