Collimated light from a quartz halogen lamp was incident at 35° to the sample normal; light scattered at 55° to the normal was analyzed by a grating spectrometer at a resolution of 20 Å, with a wavelength scale calibrated with the use of a Hg reference lamp.

17. The desorption peak at 36 K is attributed to the evaporation of solid oxygen; the peak at 45 K is attributed to multilayers of oxygen in slightly stronger binding sites, such as cracks in the ice (11).
