Abstract

Thin-film transmission spectra of ammonium hydrosulfide $(N H_{4} S H)$ ice and ammonia $(N H_{3})$ ice between 1300 and $12,000 {cm}^{- 1}$ were used to determine the ice’s optical constants. The films were grown on a sapphire substrate, and a Fourier-transform spectrometer and a grating spectrometer were used together to record the spectra. Lambert’s law was used to directly determine the imaginary component of the complex refractive indices; from this, the real component was derived using the Kramers–Kronig algorithm. It is shown that, contrary to what is expected, the optical constants determined for $N H_{3}$ ice at $80 K$ are in good agreement with those in the cubic phase, rather than the metastable one. The phase of the $N H_{4} S H$ ice was observed to change from amorphous to polycrystalline as the film was annealed to $160 K$ .
