Abstract
A new optical technique using a birefringent compensator has been developed to study the natural birefringence of calcite and ADP. Experimental results are compared with those obtained by the usual banded spectrum technique. Application of this method for very highly birefringent substances is indicated.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
