The reflectance, transmittance, photoionization and photoemission of liquids are measured in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region as a function of angle of incidence and photon energy. Such measurements are analyzed to yield the optical and dielectric functions of the liquid as functions of photon energy. Optical and dielectric data were obtained for pure water. Reflectance chambers and cells were constructed. Reflectance measurements were made on silicone pump oils and glycerol. Measurements were also made on tetradecane and heptardecane. New techniques were explored so that measurements could be made on solutions. Optical and dielectric functions of H/sub 2/O and D/sub 2/O were obtained in the 2 to 9.3 eV spectral region. Photoemission measurements were made from a number of low-vapor-pressure liquids.
