Polar coordinate system

Hence, the expression of Eq. (5) indicates that, in a polar coordinate system, Eq. (4) will remain unchanged even if the position of the conical intersection is shifted from the origin of the coordinate system.

To find the equilibrium form of a crystal, the following Wullf construction [20] can be used, which will be explained here, for simplicity, in two dimensions. Set the centre of the crystal at the origin of a polar coordinate system r,6. The radius r is assumed proportional to the surface tension 7( ), where 6 defines the angle between the coordinate system of the crystal lattice and the normal direction of a point at the surface. The anisotropy here is given through the angular dependence. A cubic crystal, for example, shows in a two-dimensional cut a clover-leaf shape for 7( ). Now draw everywhere on this graph the normals to the radius vector r = The...

The polar coordinate system describes the location of a point (denoted as [r,0]) in a plane by specifying a distance r and an angle 0 from the origin of the system. There are several relationships between polar and rectangular coordinates, diagrammed in Figure 1-30. From the Pythagorean Theorem...

The Fourier transform of the spherical atomic density is particularly simple. One can select S to lie along the z axis of the spherical polar coordinate system (Fig. 1.4), in which case S-r = Sr cos. If pj(r) is the radial density function of the spherically symmetric atom,... 

For compactness, the subscript M for the electronic density parameters has been omitted in Eq. (8.49). The polar coordinate system has the z axis of the local Cartesian coordinate system as the polar axis, and the vector RMP is referred to this local coordinate system.

First, in 2 dimesions In a polar coordinate system, draw a vector parallel to the normal of the surface and with length proportional to the energy of the surface. At the endpoint of the vector, draw a tangent line. Repeat for all surfaces. The equilibrium shape is the area limited by the tangent lines. 

The construction in 3 dimensions is in principle the same. You use a sperical (not polar) coordinate system, you draw the vectors and then the tangent plane (not line).

If we consider a spherically symmetric field as occurs around an atomic nucleus, it is convenient to use a polar-coordinate system (Figure 1-1). 

First suppose that a spherical surface of unit radius is drawn and the center of this sphere is taken as the origin of a spherical polar coordinate system.
