Ice Datasets
Description
Sample Type Ice
Components H₂O
Ratio 1
Substrate SiO₂ (for the 1.4-2.7 µm region) and CaF₂ (near 3.1 µm and for the 3.35-7.81 µm region)
Phase / State Polycrystalline
Reference Temperature 251.15 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 1280 - 6980
Wavelength (µm) 1.433 - 7.813

Polycrystalline water (H₂O) ice condensed at 251.15 K (-22 °C) between two quartz (SiO₂) substrates (for measurements in the 1.4-2.7 µm region) and between two calcium fluoride (CaF₂) substrates (for measurements near 3.1 µm and in the 3.35-7.81 µm region), and held at 251.15 K during spectroscopic measurements.

The imaginary part (k) of the complex index of refraction was determined using optical measurements done at a temperature of 251.15 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 6980 to 1280 cm⁻¹ with resolutions of 16 and 32 cm⁻¹.

Error bars/uncertainties are provided in the downloadable data.
