The measurement of electric quadrupole moments of gas molecules by induced birefringence.

Determining the electric quadrupole moments of gas molecules from measurements of birefringence induced in the gas by an applied electric field gradient is widely recognised as being the most direct experimental technique for this purpose. This thesis presents a new molecular theory of the experimen...
