Absorption and refraction of some polar gases as a function of pressure at microwave frequencies

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Absorption and refraction of several polar gases has been measured, as a function of the pressure, at 32 mm wavelength and 0 °C. For ammonia, trimetilamine, ammonia-argon and ammonia-hydrogen mixtures a quadratic dependence has been found. For OCS and several amines the absorption increases less than quadratically. At the same pressure and concentration, we found the same absorption for ammoniaargon and ammonia-hydrogen mixtures. For absorbing gases, at low pressures, the refractive index is not proportional to the pressure.

Riassunto

Si riferiscono i risultati di misure sul coefficiente di assorbimento e sull’indice di rifrazione di diverse sostanze, alle lunghezze d’onda di 32 e 12 mm. Tali grandezze sono state misurate in funzione della pressione a frequenza e temperatura costante. A 32 mm di lunghezza d’onda il coefficiente di assorbimento dell’ammoniaca, di miscugli di ammoniaca ed argon ed ammoniaca ed idrogeno e della trimetilammina è proporzionale al quadrato della pressione. Alla stessa pressione e concentrazione di ammoniaca, il coefficiente di assorbimento di miscugli di ammoniaca con argon e di ammoniaca con argon e di ammoniaca con idrogeno è lo stesso. Per l’NH3 e OCS, aile basse pressioni, l’indice di rifrazione non è proporzionale alla pressione.
