| The spectral and baric dependences of the birefringence Δ ni of K2ZnCl4 crystals were studied. It is shown that the dispersion Δ ni(λ) is normal and sharply increases on approaching the absorption edge. It is established that the uniaxial pressures do not change the character but only the values of the dispersions dΔni/dλ and temperature dependences of dΔni/dT. |
