The dispersion of the refractive index of a CdS crystal in the region of its main exciton bands is experimentally investigated a t temperatures ranging from 4 to 80 OK. From the change of the birefringence pattern in the region of the lowest state, three specific temperature intervals are revealed. The data obtained show good agreement with the predicted temperature change of the normal wave parameters for media with the spatial dispersion;
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
