Spherical Harmonics Expansion of Fundamental Solutions and Their Derivatives for Homogeneous Elliptic Operators
2017
In this work, a unified scheme for computing the fundamental solutions of a three-dimensional homogeneous elliptic partial differential operator is presented. The scheme is based on the Rayleigh expansion and on the Fourier representation of a homogeneous function. The scheme has the advantage of expressing the fundamental solutions and their derivatives up to the desired order without any term-by-term differentiation. Moreover, the coefficients of the series need to be computed only once, thus making the presented scheme attractive for numerical implementation. The scheme is employed to compute the fundamental solution of isotropic elasticity showing that the spherical harmonics expansion…
A new technique in the theory of angular distributions in atomic processes: the angular distribution of photoelectrons in single and double photoioni…
1996
Special reduction formulae for bipolar harmonics with higher ranks of internal spherical functions are derived, which will be useful in problems involving multiple expansions in spherical functions. Together with irreducible tensor operator techniques these results provide a new and effective approach, which enables one to extract the geometrical and dynamical factors from the cross sections of atomic processes with polarized particles with an accurate account of all the polarization effects. The angular distribution of polarized electrons and the circular dichroism in photoionization of polarized atoms with an arbitrary angular momentum are presented in an invariant vector form. A specific…
A general approach for the calculation of the energy levels and the inelastic neutron scattering cross-section of highly nuclear magnetic clusters
1997
Abstract We develop here a general approach to calculate in an efficient way the spin levels as well as the spin eigenfunctions and the INS intensities of clusters formed by large numbers of exchange-coupled magnetic metal ions. The approach is based on the successive use of the irreducible tensor operator techniques and takes into account all kinds of magnetic exchange interactions between the metal ions. The potentialities of this approach are illustrated from an example comprising nine exchange-coupled Ni (II) ions.
Probing new physics in B¯0→D(*)τ−ν¯τ using the longitudinal, transverse, and normal polarization components of the tau lepton
2017
We study the longitudinal, transverse, and normal polarization components of the tau lepton in the decays ${\overline{B}}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}^{(*)}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ and discuss their role in searching for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Starting with a model-independent effective Hamiltonian including non-SM four-Fermi operators, we obtain experimental constraints on different NP scenarios and investigate their effects on the polarization observables. In the SM the longitudinal and transverse polarizations of the tau lepton differ substantially from the corresponding zero lepton mass values of $…
Tensor Operators and the Wigner-Eckart Theorem
2007
In this chapter we pave the way to the use of the coupling methods of Chap. 1 for manipulating operators and their matrix elements. To enable smooth application of the angular momentum methods, we introduce so-called spherical tensor operators. Spherical tensors can be related to Cartesian tensors. A Cartesian tensor of a given Cartesian rank can be reduced to spherical tensors of several spherical ranks. There is a very convenient procedure, the so-called Wigner-Eckart theorem, to separate the part containing the projection quantum numbers from the rest of the matrix element of a spherical tensor operator. The remaining piece, called the reduced matrix element, is rotationally invariant an…
Théorie des spectres rovibroniques des molécules octaédriques : Hamiltonien et moments de transition
2002
This thesis is devoted to the treatment of rovibronic couplings of octahedral species for which the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is broken down. By using the octahedral formalism, a full effective rovibronic model is extended from works about molecules in a non-degenerate electronic state. This effective model is dedicated to molecules with an odd or an even number of electrons and it has been successfully applied to V(CO)6 and ReF6. For both of them we have four interacting vibronic sublevels attributed to a dynamical Jahn-Teller effect and giving rise to very complicated spectra. This model is validated by the overall agreement between predicted and observed band profiles. Moreover, an …
Magnetic exchange interaction in clusters of orbitally degenerate ions. II. Application of the irreducible tensor operator technique
2001
Abstract The irreducible tensor operator technique in R3 group is applied to the problem of kinetic exchange between transition metal ions possessing orbitally degenerate ground states in the local octahedral surrounding. Along with the effective exchange Hamiltonian, the related interactions (low-symmetry crystal field terms, Coulomb interaction between unfilled electronic shells, spin–orbit coupling and Zeeman interaction) are also taken into account within a unified computational scheme. Extension of this approach to high-nuclearity systems consisting of transition metal ions in the orbital triplet ground states is also demonstrated. As illustrative examples, the corner-shared D4h dimers…
