Titan gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane:hydrogen:acetylene:ethylene:cyanoacetylene (N2:CH4:H2:C2H2:C2H4:HC3N with a 0.98:0.018:0.002:3.5E-5:3.0E-5:1.7E-6 ratio) gas precursors by UV photolysis at 297 K temperature and ~700 Torr pressure at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA.
Tholin sample deposited on silicon (Si) substrate. Film thickness of 30-40 nm.
The real part (n) of the complex index of refraction was determined from optical measurements done at room temperature, by spectroscopic ellipsometry from 0.4 to 0.75 µm.
