Gas Tholin Datasets
Description
Sample Type Gas Tholin
Components N₂:CH₄
Ratio 98:2
Substrate Si
Reference Temperature 300 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 10000 - 27027.027
Wavelength (µm) 0.37 - 1

Titan gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane (N₂:CH₄ with a 98:2 ratio) gas precursors by RF plasma discharge at 300 K temperature and 0.9 mbar pressure in the PAMPRE experimental setup at Laboratoire ATMosphère Observations Spatiales (LATMOS), Guyancourt, France.

Tholin sample deposited on silicon (Si) substrate. Film thickness of ~770 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 spectroscopic ellipsometry from 370 to 1000 nm.
