The possibility of using a calorimetric method to determine the bulk and surface absorption coefficients in infrared-transparent materials is discussed. Results are presented of measurements of the bulk and surface absorption in KC1 and NaCl crystal samples at 10.6 p.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
