Optical Kerr effect in viscous media. II. A series of analogous diols containing heteroatom

摘要

Temperature dependencies of the optical Kerr effect have been studied for a series of four analogous diols (of which three contained a heteroatom). The molar Kerr constant was found to increase with temperature below the room temperature and decrease above. The mangitude and character of this change depended on the kind of the heteroatom.
