Optical Properties of Xenotime-(Y)
Dichroism (e):
pink, yellow, or yellow brown.
Dichroism (w):
brownish yellow, grayish brown, or greenish.
Gladstone-Dale:
CI meas= 0.076 (Fair) - where the CI = (1-KPDmeas/KC) CI calc= -0.028 (Excellent) - where the CI = (1-KPDcalc/KC)
KPDcalc= 0.18,KPDmeas= 0.1618,KC= 0.175 Ncalc = 1.75 - 1.89
Optical Data:
Uniaxial (+), w=1.721, e=1.816, bire=0.0950.
