Figure 1: Left: mean grain size stratification for a
plan-parallel AMES (cond) late L-type brown dwarf model atmosphere of
K,
and of original solar
abundance. Right: chemical material composition of the grains in volume fractions of
the solids for the same model (

s - contributing solid materials). Note the upside-down scale of the local temperature T [100 K].
Figure 2:
Absorption transmission spectrum (=

as the local continuum flux with respect to the
feature) for the model in Fig. 1 with (solid line) and without (dashed line) formation of SiO2.
The absorption feature of
SiO2
is centered at 8.7 m.
