Popis: The temperature dependences of the optical path difference ∆і(Т) and relative changes δlі/lі in the thickness of Rb2ZnCl4 crystals have been studied. The temperature dependences of the relative changes in the refractive indices δnі/(nі – 1) are calculated. The critical index of the temperature changes in the refractive indices is estimated to be β = 0.31 ± 0.02, a value that is well consistent with the Landau theory of phase transitions. The coefficients of anisotropy of refractive indices Аn – 1(Т) are calculated. A characteristic minimum near the phase transition temperature is found in these dependences.
