18. The adiabatic correction to the dielectric permittivity measured by the ac method, which might affect the value of R, is negligible for BaTiO3, according to Ref..

22. In literature (Ref.), the second quartic coefficient, was determined by fitting the P-E curves along [001] and [011] directions in the paraelectric phase. Neglecting the high-power terms, Phkl = κhkl Ehkl + λhkl E hkl 3, and - Βhkl = λhkl ε4. As determined λ001 and λ011 both have positive values above TC. Keeping in mind that the birefringence are proportional to the square of the polarization, Δn P2 = κ2 E2 +2κλ E4 +, one would expect that the nonlinear coefficient d2 in Δn= d1 E2 + d2 E4 + have the same sign as λ for both directions as κ001 = κ011. However, the birefringence measurements evidenced positive d2 [001] whereas negative d2 [011] over the same temperature interval, contradicting to that predicted by λ values.
