The a-, a-and n-spectra of quartz in the IR regions were measured under FTIR spectroscopy, and overtone and combination modes perpendicular to the c-axis of quartz were confirmed to be electric vector active by the coincidence of the a-spectrum with the a-spectrum among the three kinds of spectra. Absorption coefficients of overtone and combination modes intrinsic to the a-, a-, and n-spectra of quartz were measured. The thickness of quartz thin sections can be determined by applying the absorption coefficients obtained from the a-and a-spectra to the polarized IR absorption spectra measured under E L the c-axis.
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.
