Abstract

The spherulites exhibited by polyethylene samples have an associated ring structure which gives rise to diffraction and other optical effects which are attributed to a periodic variation of the refractive index of the spherulites for light polarized transverse to the radial direction. The periodic and continuous variation of the refractive index is confirmed from sensitive interference experiments. The optical phenomena are illustrated with striking photographs.
