Abstract

Measurements of the Kerr effect in nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ethane, ethylene, acetylene and cyclopropane are reported at a series of temperatures and pressures. Values for the second molecular hyperpolarizabilities of these molecules have been derived from the results, together with values for their polarizability anisotropies. The contribution of interacting pairs of molecules to the Kerr effect has been determined for these gases.
