Calculated Infrared Extinction Coefficients for Graphite

Abstract

Calculations were made of the optical extinction for graphite using Mie theory, on assumption of spherical particles, and published complex index of refraction data for graphite and carbon. The results are presented in graph form showing extinction coefficient vs wavelength, displaying the scattering and absorption components of extinction. The results permit examination of the effect of particle size, particle distribution width, and complex index of refraction on calculated extinction.
