Gas Tholin Datasets
Description
Sample Type Gas Tholin
Components PH₃:H₂
Ratio 3:97
Substrate SiO₂
Reference Temperature 300 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 16666.667 - 40000
Wavelength (µm) 0.25 - 0.6

Jupiter gas tholin sample produced from phosphine:hydrogen (PH₃:H₂ with a 3:97 ratio) gas precursors by UV photolysis at 300 K temperature and 1 bar pressure at Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Tel-Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel.

Tholin sample deposited on quartz (SiO₂) substrate. Film thickness of ~0.12 µm.

The real part (n) of the complex index of refraction was determined from optical measurements done at room temperature, with the sodium D line (λ = 5893 Å) by the immersion technique. The imaginary part (k) of the complex index of refraction was determined from optical measurements done at room temperature, by absorption spectroscopy from 0.25 to 0.6 µm.
