Cole Title: Determination of absorption cross sections of surface-adsorbed HNO3 in the 290–330 nm region by Brewster angle cavity ring-down spectroscopy Journal/Source: Chem. Phys. Lett., 458, 373-377, (2008); doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2008.04.125 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 290 - 330 nm Resolution: Temperature: 295 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas; adsorbed on fused silica surfaces pH: Comments: The absorption cross sections of surface-adsorbed HNO3 in the 290-330 nm region has been measured with Brewster angle cavity ring-down spectroscopy. The 295 K absorption cross sections for HNO3 adsorbed on fused silica surfaces are at least two orders of magnitude larger than those in the gas phase in the wavelength region studied.
