A 3.4 m absorption band in amorphous carbon: implications for interstellar dust

Abstract
The infrared absorption spectrum of hydrogenated amorphous carbon solids shows features at 3.38, 3.41 and 3.48 μm corresponding to discrete bands in the spectrum of IRS-7. Interstellar amorphous carbon dust with chemisorbed CH2 and CH3 groups may be a significant component of interstellar dust in diffuse clouds.
