Abstract
THz extinction spectroscopy extends UV–Vis and NIRspectroscopy to characterize particles from fine powders and dust to sand grains and granulated materials We extract particle sizes from the spectral position of the first peak of the interference structure and size distributions from the visibility of the fine ripple structure in the measured extinction spectra As such we can demonstrate a route for a quick determination of these parameters from single measurementsThe authors thank R Bittl FU Berlin and A Schnegg HZB for permitting measurements at the FTIRinstrument D Ponwitz for technical support at the beamline as well as Boris Eberhard Peidong Yu and Zach Evenson for the help with the measurements during the beamtime Philip Born thanks Andreas Meyer for his continued support of the project
