Popis: The optical properties of [(CH3)4N]2MBr4 (M = Cd and Mn) crystals are investigated. Both crystals are positive biaxial with the principal axes of the optic indicatrix nα, nβ and nγ along the a, b and c orthorhombic directions, respectively. The birefringence, optic angle and refractive indexes were measured at room temperature. The monoclinic domain structure observed below Pmcn → P121/c1 phase transition temperature is also analyzed.
