Abstract

The influence of the uniaxial mechanical pressure om < 200 bar on the temperature dependence of the birefringence Δni in K2SO4 crystals in an interval of 300–1000 K has been studied. The uniaxial pressure was found to affect only the magnitude but not the behavior of dΔni=dT. A significant baric shift of the ferroelastic phase transition point toward higher (for ox) and lower (for oy and oz pressures) temperatures was observed, as well as a baric shift of the temperature interval, where the intermediate phase exists, near the phase transition point.
