Description
Sample Type Ice
Components H₂O
Ratio 1
Substrate Not specified optical window
Phase / State Polycrystalline
Reference Temperature 248.15 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 4000 - 6920
Wavelength (µm) 1.445 - 2.5

Polycrystalline water (H₂O) ice condensed between two optical windows at 248.15 K (-25 °C), and held at 248.15 K during spectroscopic measurements.

The imaginary part (k) of the complex index of refraction was determined using optical measurements done a temperature 248.15 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 6920 to 4000 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 16 cm⁻¹.

Error bars/uncertainties are provided in the downloadable data.
