Pure HC3N (1) Ice at 70 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components HC3N
Ratio 1
Substrate KRS-5
Reference Temperature 70 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 485 - 3250
Wavelength (µm) 3.077 - 20.619

Crystalline cyanoacetylene (HC3N) ice deposited at 70 K onto a thallium bromoiodide (KRS-5) substrate, then annealed at 90 K and cooled down to 70 K, and held at 70 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 70 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 3250 to 485 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 1 cm⁻¹.

The accuracy of n is estimated at ± 1%.
