34. 2 (1) The refractive index of an isotropic α-8T thin film has been measured by an attenuated total reflection technique at λ = 632.8 nm, i.e., in the transparency region, and found to be as high as n = 2.07 (for comparison, the refractive index of an isotropic α-6T film is 1.96) [13]. In the case of the α-8T crystal, this n value is only indicative since the refractive index is expected to be strongly anisotropic.
