Stress-optic coefficients of ZnSe
Abstract:
The stress-optic coefficients of ZnSe have been measured at room temperature; Twyman-Green and Fizeau interferometers were used in conjunction with a four-point loading device. Test specimens were rectangular parallelepipeds of chemically vapor-deposited material prepared by Raytheon Corporation. Measurements were made with the optical propagation parallel to the deposition direction, and optical scanning and computer analysis were employed to determine fringe positions to an accuracy of better than 0.01 of a fringe spacing. The experimental values for pi(11) and pi(12) are -1.48 +/- 0.05 x 10(-12) m(2)/N and +0.22 +/- 0.05 x 10(-12) m(2)/N, respectively.

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
