Abstract
The formation of diatomic oxide grains in the interstellar medium is briefly discussed and the infrared properties of several oxide materials are presented. It is shown that SiO has a broad, featureless absorption profile centred at 9.6 μm while FeO has an absorption peak at 19 μm. A discussion of the wavelength dependence of polarization at 10 μm is also given.Keywords
