Amorphous olivines synthesized by evaporation method show two very broad bands at 10-11 μm and 17.5-19 μm, which resemble the spectra of symbiotic stars. On the other hand, amorphous pyroxenes produced by the same method show two broad bands at 9.5-10.3 μ and 20-22 μ which are narrower than that of amorphous olivine. The features of amorphous olivine were easily altered by heating or hydration, and the peak wavelength of 18 μm band was easily shifted to longer wavelengths.
