Du, L. Huang, L. Zhu Title: Absorption Cross Sections of Surface-Adsorbed H2O in the 295–370 nm Region and Heterogeneous Nucleation of H2O on Fused Silica Surfaces Journal/Source: J. Phys. Chem. A, 117 (36), 8907-8914, (2013); DOI: 10.1021/jp405573y Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 295 - 370 nm Resolution: Temperature: 293 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: 0.01 - 17 Torr Phase: surface adsorbed pH Comments: The authors have determined absorption cross sections of a monolayer of H2O adsorbed on the fused silica surfaces in the 295–370 nm region at 293 ± 1 K by using Brewster angle cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Absorption cross sections of surface-adsorbed H2O vary between (4.66 ± 0.83) × 10-20 and (1.73 ± 0.52) × 10-21 cm2/molecule over this wavelength range.
