title = "The Painful Derivation of the Refractive Index from Microscopical Considerations",
abstract = "The derivation of the refractive index from the microscopical structure of matter is analysed in detail. In particular the many various assumptions leading to the basic Clausius-Mosotti (Lorentz-Lorenz) equation are carefully stated. The most general formulation of the second order correlation theory for the refractive index, the so-called Yvon-Kirkwood theory, is given. These considerations will facilitate the explanation of a very peculiar effect observed by Amat.",
