Martienssen W. (ed.). Optical Constants. Refractive Indices of Organic Liquids

Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1996. — 421 p.More than 35 years ago, in 1959, Landolt-Börnstein published in its 6th Edition “Refractive indices of gases, Iiquids and liquid mixtures at different temperatures and wavelengths”. Due to measurements of refractive indices of many Systems since 1959 and due to the growing interest in Optical properties of materials the editors of Landolt-Börnstein decided to publish a complete volume of refractive indices of gases and liquid Systems. In contrast to the 6th Edition of Landolt-Börnstein, it is nowadays impossible to include the complete data in the printed Version. The aim of the New Series Edition of Landolt-Börnstein is therefore to store all data and references in electronic files and selected data and references in the printed Version. Nevertheless, the printed version gives an extensive overview of the refractive indices with many data for nearly all kinds of Systems.
Volume III/38 ,,Optical Constants” is divided into several Parts. The present subvolume III/38B contains organic liquids; subvolume III/38A contains inorganic, organometallic, and organononmetallic liquids, and binary liquid mixtures. The editor kindly acknowledge the support of Dr. R. Poerschke and Dr. H. Seemüller from Springer-Verlag. The publisher and the editor are confident that this volume will increase the use of the “Landolt-Börnstein”.
