Notes:
By embedding submicroscopic silver rodlets in micellar systems with fibrous structures, unexpectedly strongly anisotropic rodlet compounds bodies are formed. The observed dichroism, indigo blue-straw yellow, suggests the possibility that a particular anisotropic modification of silver is being dealt with, instead of cubic silver. On applying Wiener's compound body formulas, it appears, however, that in the short-wave region the observed anisotropic effects (negative rodlet double refraction and dichroism) can be computed from the optical properties of isotropic silver. In the spectral region of the average and long waves, differences are found between the observed anisotropy and the value calculated by means of Wiener's formulas. These differences are, however, not of such a nature that it is necessary to assume an unknown allotropic modification of silver with particular optically anisotropic properties in order to explain them.
