Abstract
THE variation with pressure of the dielectric constant of the alkali halides has been measured, for selected salts, by Mayburg1 and Jarman2, whose work is summarized in Table 1. Jarman deduced that the polarizability of the unit cell, defined below, was proportional to the square of the volume; although lithium fluoride and magnesium oxide appear to be exceptions to this rule.
