THE RELATION OF OPTICAL TO MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS

The paper discusses the quantum mechanical mechanism underlying the relation of optical to mechanical characteristics of solids. The results of the study are based on a new analytical relationship between optics and electrodynamics. A quantum mechanical basis for the correlation between the ratio of two optical constants and percentage elongation (plasticity) of metals has been found.
