Determination of the H<sub>2</sub>O content in minerals, especially zeolites, from their refractive indices based on mean electronic polarizabilities of cations

<p>It is shown here that the <span class="inline-formula">H<sub>2</sub>O</span> content of hydrous minerals can be determined from their mean refractive indices with high accuracy. This is especially important when only small single crystals are available. Suc...
