Gas Tholin Datasets
Description
Sample Type Gas Tholin
Components N₂:CH₄
Ratio 98:2
Substrate SiO₂
Reference Temperature 300 K
Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) 10000 - 50125.313
Wavelength (µm) 0.2 - 1

Titan gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane (N₂:CH₄ with a 98:2 ratio) gas precursors by DC plasma discharge at 300 K temperature and 1 mbar pressure at Laboratoire Interuniversitaire des Systèmes Atmosphériques (LISA), Créteil, France.

Tholin sample deposited on quartz (SiO₂) substrate. Film thicknesses of ~3 and ~4 µm.

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 and reflection spectroscopy from 200 to 1000 nm.

Error bars/uncertainties are provided in the downloadable data.
