Tóm tắt

Dispersion formulæ valid in the visible region are offered for rutile, anatase and brookite. These incorporate a characteristic frequency at 2870 Å in all the cases. The value ofdn/dt in the three crystals are explained by large transfers of transition probability and moderate shifts towards large wave-lengths of this frequency as the temperature is raised. In addition, a calculation is made of the refractive indices and birefringence of rutile on the basis of Bragg’s theory and the results are in good accord with the observed data.
