Abstract
  • Refractive indices of In₂O₃, In₂₋ₓSnₓO₃, InBO₃ and 2 different gahnite crystals (ZnAl₂O₄ and Zn.₉₅Fe.₀₅Al₂O₄) were measured at wavelengths of 435.8 to 643.8 nm and were used to calculate n at λ = 589.3 nm ( nD ) and at λ = ∞ (n∞) using the one-term Sellmeier equation 1/(n²-1) = -A/λ² + B. Total polarizabilities, αₜₒₜₐₗ, were calculated from n∞ and the Lorenz-Lorentz equation. Refractive indices, nD and dispersion values, A, were, respectively, 2.093 x 10-16 m² and 133 x 10⁻¹⁶ m² for In₂O₃; 2.0755 and 138 x 10⁻¹⁶ m² for In₂₋ₓSnₓO₃; 1.7940 and 57 x 10⁻¹⁶ m² for ZnAl₂O₄ and 1.7995 and 56 x 10⁻¹⁶ m² for Zn.₉₅Fe.₀₅Al₂O₄ and n₀ = 1.8782 and ne = 1.7756 and <63> x 10⁻¹⁶ m² for InBO₃.
