Surface Absorption of 10.6 Micrometer Radiation on the Alkali Halides,
Abstract
An investigation of surface absorption at 10.6 micrometers in NaCl crystals is reported. The purpose of this study was to establish the relative contributions of absorbed water on the crystal surface and interior to total absorption. The findings indicate that the principal absorption mechanism is not attributable to water absorption, either in bulk or on the surface. There is indicated a strong relationship between surface scattering and absorption. A comparison of findings with earlier work is discussed. (Author)
