Scientific paper

Methods and results of laboratory experiments for the investigation of the silicate component of interstellar dust are reviewed. Basic properties expected for astronomically important interstellar silicates (AIIS) are discussed. A review on laboratory investigations of AIIS is given. Physical and chemical methods for producing amorphous silicates are summarized. Important measurements of optical data for AIIS are listed. It is concluded that at least two types of dust silicates exist in interstellar space: molecular-cloud silicate (suggested to be of pyroxene-type) and late-type star silicate (suggested to be of olivine-type).
