Flow birefringence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biochemistry, flow birefringence is a hydrodynamic technique for measuring the rotational diffusion constants (or, equivalently, the rotational drag coefficients). The birefringence of a solution...

The oft cited example of birefringence is rhombohedron calcite. Lab-grown sodium nitrate should exhibit this property as well, because it shares the same crystalline structure as calcite. However, sodium nitrate crystals grown in this lab were insufficiently clear and large to perform observations.

birefringence: In a transparent material, anisotropism of the refractive index, which varies as a function of polarization as well as orientation with respect to the incident ray. ... (188) Note 1: The term "birefringence" means, literally, "double refraction." Note 2: All crystals except those of cubic lattice...

Double Refraction (Birefringence) in Iceland Spar ... This is due to the strong birefringence in calcite, which separates the two refracted light rays by a wide margin. One of the light waves, termed the ordinary ray, travels straight through the crystal (its image remains stationary), while the other ray is refracted to...

This is called double refraction or birefringence. When you look at something through a birefringent substance, you can see a double image. Iceland spar, a type of calcite crystal, is birefringent. Below, you can see a double image as you look through a piece of Iceland spar.

This discussion focuses on anisotropic crystals that exhibit double refraction or birefringence, and how this affects their optical properties. ... The two independent refractive indices of anisotropic crystals are quantified in terms of their birefringence, a measure of the difference in refractive index. Thus,
