Popis: The influence of uniaxial pressure applied along the principal crystallophysical directions on the dispersion and temperature dependences of the refractive indices n i of K2ZnCl4 crystals has been investigated. The n i values are found to be fairly sensitive to uniaxial pressure, whereas an uniaxial stress does not change the behavior of the dispersion and temperature dependences of n i . The baric changes in n i have been studied. The electronic polarizability α i , refractions R, and parameters of UV oscillators (λ0i , B 1i ) of mechanically deformed K2ZnCl4 crystals have been calculated. The contributions of UV and IR oscillators to n i (λ) have been estimated for different temperatures, spectral regions, and stresses. A significant baric shift of the points of the paraelectric phase-incommensurate phase-commensurate phase transitions to different temperature ranges, depending on the direction of pressure application, is found; this shift is due to the effect of uniaxial stress on the K2ZnCl4 crystal structure.
