Measured extinction of small Olivine spheres
Description
Crystalline spheres of the silicate forsterite (Mg2SiO4), with a mean diameter of around 600 A, were prepared in the laboratory. Their infrared extinction in the region 1100--400 cm-1 was quantitatively measured and the results were compared with the work of other authors and with Mie theory calculations. The extremely sharp spikes predicted by Mie theory were not realized, though agreement with peak positions and integrated absorption strengths was good
