Onsager-Bottcher theory

The theory of Onsager-Bottcher is an attempt to improve the theory of the optical behaviour of mixtures, taking the influence of the internal field into consideration. Substituting the observed refractive indices in the somewhat more complicated equations of Onsager-BoTTCHER the average polarisability of the glucose residue and the radius r of the same could be calculated from the observations ... 

In contrast to diamagnetism where the magnetic interactions between molecules can be neglected, the polarization field in the medium becomes important when discussing dielectric anisotropy (see, e.g., Bottcher< >). Maier and Meier > took this into account by applying the Onsager theory.The effective induced dipole moments per molecule along and...
