Abstract: The refractive index is one of the important parameters describing the optical properties of solid materials. However, it is difficult to obtain a quantitative relation between the refractive index and the structure and composition of materials. A qualitative relation between the refractive index and some atomic parameters of materials was proposed and demonstrated by some oxide optical crystals. A parameter P＝r-/F=r-/(r+ΔxD) is defined, in which Δx is the difference of the electronegativities between cations and anions in the materials and r+ and r- are the radii of cations and anions respectively. On the other hand, the factor D was introduced to describe the effect of mass difference of the ions. It is demonstrated by both theoretical discussion and experimental data that refractive index is a decreasing function of parameter P. The relation may be useful for the investigation of optical materials.
