Abstract: | The influence of uniaxial mechanical pressure σ m ≤ 150 bar on the spectral (300–800 nm) dependence of the birefringence Δn i of (NH4)2SO4 crystals is studied. The dispersion Δn i (λ) is shown to be normal and greatly increases when approaching the absorption edge. Uniaxial pressure changes the value of dispersion dΔn i /dλ but not its character. It is found that the simultaneous action of pressures σ x ~ σ y ~ 560 bar results in the occurrence of a uniaxial isotropic state. Piezoelectric constants of the crystals are estimated. |
