Orientation determination of the OH- dipole in minerals under fourier transform polarized infrared microspectroscopy

Polarized infrared absorbance spectrum of an optically anisotropic crystal was formulated for the crystallographic analysis of the hydrous component in the crystal under Fourier transform polarized infrared absorbance spectroscopy (pol-mFTIR). The adequacy of the formulation was confirmed by comparison of calculated interference fringes with those identical to the observed one in polarized absorbance spectra of an optically anisotropic crystal....
