Optical Absorption of Natural Garnets from 1000 to 30 000 Wavenumbers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The optical absorption coefficient of five different natural garnet crystals has been measured at 300 K over the wavenumber range from 1000 to 30 000 cm−1. Peaks in the absorption spectrum associated with OH, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, and Cr3+ ions have been identified. Pure Mg3Al2Si3O12 and Ca3Al2Si3O12 appear to have an intrinsic absorption coefficient below 1 cm−1 in the wavenumber range 3000–30 000 cm−1. There are intrinsic multiphonon lattice peaks at wavenumbers of about 1790 and 2600 cm−1 in all five garnets.
