Abstract

Determinations of the imaginary refractive index in the ultraviolet and visible spectral regions as determined from diffuse reflectance measurements are presented. Materials examined are carbon black and oxides of iron, lead, mercury, copper, manganese, and vanadium along with lead iodide and iron sulfide.
