Pure H2O (1) Ice at 243 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components H2O
Ratio 1
Substrate SiO2
Reference Temperature 243 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 10000 - 40000
Wavelength (µm) 0.25 - 1

Crystalline water (H2O) ice (hexagonal ice Ih) slabs placed between two fused silica (SiO2) substrates held at 243 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 243 K, by Fourier transform of the measured time-resolved field variation of THz transmitted pulses from 0.25 to 1.0 THz.

The accuracy of the n indices is estimated at ± 0.002. The accuracy of the k indices is estimated at ± 0.0005.
