Abstract

The Kerr constant (BT) of deionized liquid water was measured in the temperature range from 280 K to 350 K using 2 μs duration electric pulse fields up to 50 kV cm-1. The value of BT has been determined as 2.92 × 10-14 mV-2 at 298 K. Results indicate a steady decrease in the value of the Kerr constant with the rise of temperature.
