Refractive-index spectra for materials

Source: R/refractive-index-mspct.r
refractive_index.mspct.Rd

A collection of refractive-index spectra for some materials.

Usage

refractive_index.mspct

Format

A "generic_mspct" object containing multiple "generic_spct" objects.

Details

The "generic_mspct" object contains "generic_spct" objects with refractive index data.

The variables in each member spectrum are as follows:

  • w.length (nm)

  • n

  • k

Note

Data labeled "for unrestricted use" originate from the Filmmetrics Refractive Index Database at https://www.kla.com/products/instruments/refractive-index-database where primary sources are provided. The names in refractive_index.mspct are the same as in the downloaded files, except for the `.txt` tag.
