Pure C3H8 (1) Ice at 8 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components C3H8
Ratio 1
Substrate CsI or KBr
Reference Temperature 8 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 500.024 - 4999.994
Wavelength (µm) 2 - 19.999

Amorphous propane (C3H8) ice deposited at 8 K onto a cesium iodide (CsI) or potassium bromide (KBr) substrate, and held at 8 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 8 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 5000 to 500 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 0.5 cm⁻¹.
