Gas Tholin Datasets
Description
Sample Type Gas Tholin
Components N₂:CH₄:CO₂
Ratio 95:2:3
Substrate MgF₂ (for the UV-Vis-NIR region) and Si (for the MIR-FIR region)
Reference Temperature 300 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 333.384 - 33333.333
Wavelength (µm) 0.3 - 29.995

Exoplanet gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane:carbon dioxide (N₂:CH₄:CO₂ with a 95:2:3 ratio) gas precursors by RF plasma discharge at 300 K temperature and 0.85 hPa pressure in the PAMPRE experimental setup at Laboratoire ATMosphère Observations Spatiales (LATMOS), Guyancourt, France.

Tholin sample deposited on magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) and silicon (Si) substrates. Film thicknesses ranging from 750 to 855 nm.

The real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction were determined from optical measurements done at room temperature, in ambient air, by transmission spectroscopy from 0.3 to 30 µm.
