Midinfrared (5.0-25 mu m, 2000-400 cm(-1)) optical constants of hydrous carbonate, sulfate, and nitrate

摘要

Fresnel reflectance and dispersion analysis are used to derive the real and imaginary indices of refraction of hydrous carbonate (dypingite) and hydrous sulfate (fibroferrite), in the 5.0 - 25 mu m wavelength region, and hydrous nitrate/sulfate (darap-skite) in the 5 - 17 mu m wavelength region. These indices are useful for theoretical modeling of the radiative transfer that occurs within atmospheres of planets and particulate surfaces of solid bodies in the solar system.
