description

Abstract The N points ri and the N segments ΔΩi of the unit sphere used in the numerical approximation of the average over the sphere are optimized to approximate the average of the set of spherical harmonics {;Yl,m;l = 0, 1, 2, …, L}; up to L = 18. The symmetry of f( r ) can be taken into acount by using only a distinct subquantity of the N point {; r i , ΔΩ i }; . Sets for N = 48n (n = 1, 2, …, 6) are tabulated. The advantage of the method is shown by the calculation of a powder Mossbauer spectrum including electric and magnetic hyperfine interactions.
