Abstract

Polarized IR spectra of single-crystals of amphiboles show that the molar absorptivity of the fundamental vibrational OH band is strongly wavenumber dependent, The intensity increases by a factor of 1 .6 from 3674 cm^(-1) (tremolite endmember; MgMgMg) to 3618 cm^(-1) (grunerite endmember; FeFeFe). Spectra obtained from Ca and Fe-Mg amphiboles consist of sharp, well-resolved bands on a well-defined background. The high intensity of the OH bands in Ca and Fe-Mg amphiboles makes it sometimes necessary to thin the samples to under 2 µm thickness, whereas alkali amphiboles can be measured at 25-50 µm thickness.
