For most solids, including the highly ionic alkali halides, the molar polarizabilities at optical frequencies, RQ (defined by the Lorentz-Lorenz equation), and at low frequencies, Rs (defined by the Clausius-Mosotti equation), are strongly dependent on temperature and pressure. This arises from the fact that the molar polarizability of a medium is determined by the absorption frequencies and optical...
