Abstract

The sign inversion point of the rotatory power of the gyrotropic crystals α-NiSO4·6H2O (λ l=503 nm at 300 K) has been established. The topology of the gyration surface varies greatly in the vicinity of λ l. We have demonstrated the possibility of using this method of spectrophotometric polarimetry for precise monitoring of the mounting of a gyrotropic crystal in the system “polarizer-crystal-analyzer.”
