Abstract
This paper describes a facility for measuring of atomic and molecular polarizability by Rayleigh scattering. Measurements of gas with a know n polarizability are used for calibration. Test experiments were carri ed out with nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, water, and acetone vapors and the measurements were compared to the literature data. The method has been used to measure the polarizability of fullerene molecules.
