Abstract
Complementary analysis techniques including electron microscopy (SEM/EDX and TEM), molecular spectroscopy (FTIR and Raman), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), are used to study individual dust particles collected in the stratosphere. Large deuterium enrichments and solar flare tracks show that most particles in the “chondritic” class are interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). Infrared transmission spectra of most IDPs fall into three major classes (layer-lattice silicates, pyroxenes and olivines). TEM and Raman measurements confirm this classification. The IR spectra show certain similarities to spec-tra observed in comets and protostars. In particular the 6.8 µm features observed in protostars and IDPs may have a common origin. Large D excesses are observed in IDPs of the first two IR classes. The correlation of D/H ratios with the C concentration indicates a carbonaceous carrier of the excess D. The D enrichments and IR spectra provide links to interstellar molecular cloud material.
