Optical constants of solid methane and ethane from 10,000 to 450 cm-1
Abstract
We made thin film transmission measurements of solid CH4 (phases I and II) and C2H6 (phase II). From these, the complex indices of refraction at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths were determined by using a combined least squares and Kramers-Kronig analysis.
