| The analytical explanation of axial birefringence revealed earlier by the technique of field applied molecular dynamics computer simulation is given. The point group symmetries of achiral molecules admitting the effect are determined and the estimation of the anisotropy is presented. The effect may give information on off-diagonal elements of the Rosenfeld polarizability tensor of achiral molecules. |
