The Effect of Chemical Composition on the Relationship between Refractive Index and Abbe Value for Binary Systems
JSGT 1945 V29 T192-T196
A procedure is outlined for deriving the relationship between nDand v for binary glass systems, using constants previously published by M. L. Huggins & K.-H. Sun. As an example, the Na2O–SiO2 system is discussed and the results are plotted in two ways. An equation is deduced for the slope of the curve relating nDand v at any composition, and initial values of this slope, at the SiO2 end, are tabulated for various MmOn–SiO2 systems.
