Heidelberg - Jena - Database of Optical Constants (HEJDOC)

How is the database organized?

The database presents a list of materials, including silicates, silicon, silica, oxides, carbides, sulfides, nitrides, carbonaceous matter, organics, ices, extraterrestrial material, and several other materials. Each group is presented on a separate page, including a table indicating the structure of the material (amorphous, crystalline, or glassy), the refractive index, reflectance, or other properties that has been measured or calculated, the form of the data (table or figure), the considered wavelength range (in microns), and a reference to the paper.

When the data in a paper were available, we created a corresponding HTML page and supplied the table of references with a link to the page. Such a page may contain links to data and graphic files, information about the paper (e.g. its ADS abstract), a description of how the data were derived and so on.
