Source kind: measurement

Recorded technique: Differential overflow interferometry at 632.99 nm (the Hannover apparatus of Achtermann et al. 1991): two expansions in opposite directions between matched cells cancel the cells’ mismatch, and the refractive-index function is fitted to give B_n, C_n and D_n and hence the refractivity virial coefficients of He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe, with cell distortion and adsorption corrected. A_R from absolute isotherms.

Materials in structured entries: Ar, He, Kr, Ne, Xe

Dataset quantities: molar_refractivity, refractivity_virial_coefficient

Contents: 13 datasets; 0 formulas.

Curation notes

Identity VALIDATED_WITH_WARNINGS by the library. Printed pp. 2308-2318; Table II is on pdf p. 6.

TABLE II (image checked against the cells, 2026-10-01): this work’s A_R (cm^3/mol), B_R (cm^6/mol^2) and C_R (cm^9/mol^3) at 632.99 nm (vacuum; the caption): He 303 K 0.5213(2), -0.068(10); Ne 303 K 1.0012(2), -0.11(2); Ar 303 K 4.1955(3), 1.75(5), -85.4(2.0); Kr 303 K 6.414(1), 5.96(6), -275(10); Xe 303 K A_R 10.345(2), and at 348 K 10.344(2), 28.5(5), -1802(50). Extracted as primary datasets. The C_R of Kr and Xe are ‘presented for the first time’. The literature rows of Table II (Burns et al., Buckingham and Graham, Coulon et al., Orcutt and Cole, Kirouac and Bose, Huot and Bose, Bose and Cole, Bose, and the calculations of Dacre and of this work) are other sources’ values and are not extracted here.

UNCERTAINTY: ‘The quoted uncertainties for B_R, C_R, and D_R are obtained by taking three standard deviations from the least-squares fit in addition to errors due to cell distortion and adsorption’ (level: 3 sigma). Xe’s D_R (their Sec. IV) is not in Table II and is not extracted.

NEON (TC-744, TC-771): this work’s optical B_R, -0.11(2) at 303 K, agrees with Huot and Bose’s static B_eps, -0.12(6) at 323 K (huot_1991), and Garberoglio and Harvey’s ab initio -0.101 at 633 nm, and not with Orcutt and Cole’s -0.30(10), the package’s present choice.

Recorded bibliographic identity status: VALIDATED_WITH_WARNINGS. This concerns identification of the source; it does not establish the scientific correctness of its contents.
