Mixture H2O:CO (20:1) Ice at 12 K

Description
Sample Type Ice
Components H2O:CO
Ratio 20:1
Substrate CsI
Reference Temperature 12 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 2065.4 - 2227.9
Wavelength (µm) 4.489 - 4.842

Water:carbon monoxide (H2O:CO with a 20:1 ratio) amorphous ice mixture deposited at 12 K onto a cesium iodide (CsI) substrate, and held at 12 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 12 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 2228 to 2065 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 0.9 cm⁻¹.
