Electronic polarizability of a Sm3+ ion estimated from refractive indexes and molar volumes of molten SmCl3

  • 1. Chiba Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

The refractive indexes and the molar volumes of molten SmCl3 were measured by goniometry and dilatometry, respectively. The electronic polarizability of a Sm3+ ion was estimated from these data to be 1.14 x 10-30m3 according to the Clausius-Mossotti equation. The correlation between the electronic polarizability of an ion and the ionic radius was also discussed. (orig.)
