Description

PYROXENE SPECTRA from Bowey, J. E., Hofmeister, A., Keppel, E. 2020 MNRAS, 497, 3658
Infrared Spectra of Pyroxenes (Crystalline Chain Silicates) at Room Temperature
https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2227

We present quantitative room-temperature spectra of 17 Mg-, Fe-, and Ca-bearing ortho- and clinopyroxenes, and a Ca-pyroxenoid in order to discern trends indicative of crystal structure and a wide range of composition. Data are produced using a diamond anvil cell: our band strengths are up to six times higher than those measured in KBr or polyethylene dispersions, which include variations in path length (from grain size) and surface reflections that are not addressed in data processing.

files are two column ascii. column 1 increment varies between files.

column 1 (x) is in increasing wavenumber (cm^-1)
column 2 (tau) is absorbance in optical depth units per micron thickness
             of sample.

col1: x  to wavelength (micron) conversion is 10^4/x

col2: tau to mass absorption coefficient conversion (kappa) is tau *
      10^4/rho where rho is the mass density of the specimen (gcm^-3),
      estimates are in table 1 [Note that kappa contains inherent
      uncertainties due to the spacing between the grains sampled and
      the effects discussed in Section 7.1]
