Rotation coordinate axes

The next phase is characterized by rotating coordinate axes with reference to the old ones. 

Thus the transformation matrix for the gradient is the inverse transpose of that for the coordinates. In the case of transformation from Cartesian displacement coordinates (Ax) to internal coordinates (Aq), the transformation is singular because the internal coordinates do not specify the six translational and rotational degrees of freedom. One could augment the internal coordinate set by the latter but a simpler approach is to use the generalized inverse [M]... 

The Eckart Sayvetz conditions imply that, if during the vibration a small translation of the center of masses is invoked, the origin of the Cartesian reference system is displaced so that no linear momentum is produced. The second Sayvetz condition, expressed in the last diree equations of (2.8), imposes the constraint that, during vibrational displacements, no angular momentum is produced. Eq. (2.8) implies that the reference Cartesian system translates and rotates with the molecule in such a way that the displacement coordinates Ax, Ay and Az reflect pure vibrational distortions. It is evident that through Eq. (2.8) certain mass-dependency is imposed on the atomic Cartesian displacement coordinates. 

The second term in Eqs. (9.75) and (9.76), die rotational atomic polarizability tensor reflects the contribution of molecular translation and rigid-body rotation to ax- The inclusion of the six external molecular coordinates in those equations - the diree translations Xy and X2, and the three rotations p, Py and P2, completes die set of molecular coordinates up to 3N. In diis vray polarizability dmivatives are transformed into quantities corresponding to a space-fixed Cartesian coordinate system. As already pointed out in section 4.1, the great advantage of such a step is that the imensity parameters defined in terms of a space-fixed coordinate system are independent on isotopic substitutions provided the symmetry of the molecule is preserved. This will be illustrated with an example in the succeeding section. By analogy with Eq. (9.77), die rotational polarizability tensor can be represented as... 

There are two totally symmetric ( ,) normal modes and one b2 normal mode. (The convention is to use lowercase letters for the symmetry species of the normal modes.) The symmetry species of the normal modes have been found without solving the vibrational secular equation. Moreover, since there is only one b2 normal mode, the form of this vibration must be determined from symmetry considerations together with the requirement that the vibration have no translational or rotational energy associated with it. Thus (Fig 6.1), any bent XYX molecule has a b2 normal mode with the X atoms vibrating along the X—Y bonds and the Y atom vibrating in the plane of the molecule and perpendicular to the symmetry axis. On the other hand, there are two ax symmetry coordinates and the two ax normal vibrations are linear combinations of the ax symmetry coordinates, where the coefficients are dependent on the nuclear masses and the force constants. Thus the angles between the displacement vectors of the X atoms and the X—Y bonds for the ax modes of a bent XYX molecule vary from molecule to molecule. 

We can see immediately that the direct product representation A2 <8> E is the irrep E (direct products with A] are of course trivial). The direct product E(g)E gives the characters (4, 1, 0), a reducible representation that can be reduced to Ax A2 2 . Basis functions for the irreps are also given in the table, as well as the behaviour of (Rs, Ry, Rz), corresponding to rotations about the three coordinate axes. 

Pseudoscalars with the property T T (where the positive sign applies to proper rotations and the negative sign applies to improper rotations) are also called axial tensors of rank 0, 7 (0)ax. A quantity T with three components 7 7 2 7) that transform like the coordinates x x2 x3 of a point P, that is like the components of the position vector r, so that... 

In order to apply group theory to the physical properties of crystals, we need to study the transformation of tensor components under the symmetry operations of the crystal point group. These tensor components form bases for the irreducible repsensentations (IRs) of the point group, for example x, x2 x3 for 7(1) and the set of infinitesimal rotations Rx Ry Rz for 7(1 )ax. (It should be remarked that although there is no unique way of decomposing a finite rotation R( o n) into the product of three rotations about the coordinate axes, infinitesimal rotations do commute and the vector o n can be resolved uniquely... 

In order to illustrate the mixed state, an example with five sample wavelets will be discussed in detail. Each wavelet is represented by its components ax and ay in the Cartesian basis (optical definition, see Section 9.2.2). If the polarization vector is described by a polarization ellipse with major and minor axes a = cos y and b = sin y, by a tilt angle X of this ellipse against a fixed coordinate frame (see Fig. 1.15), and by the direction of rotation of the electric field vector indicated by the sign of y, the components ax and cty follow from... 

By definition the components of the second-rank Cartesian tensor ax transform under rotation just like the product of coordinates xy (e.q., see Jeffreys, 1961) The motivation for what ensues springs from the observation that the spherical harmonics Ym (0, ft) (where 6, ft) are the polar and azimuthal angles of the unit vector (r/1 r )) can be written in terms of the coordinates (x, y, z) of the vector r, for example,... 

This model contains in a notlinear connection the observed coordinates X( i) of each epoch, the parameter of the axis a = (ax,ay,az) and r = (rx,ry,rz) and between the consecutive epochs i and i+1 the parameter of each epoch the rotation around the axis i,i+i) and the translation along the axis T( i,i+D. Because of the complex form of the Gaufi—Helmert—Model (adjustment of condition equations with unknowns) the axial parameters will be estimated in the certainly simplier Gaufi—Markofi-Model (adjustment of observation equations). In order to change in this model the coordinates X(d of the first epoch (or an other optional epoch) as extra observation equations we shall say... 

Environment reconstmction is performed by adding the detected lane coordinates next to the front axis yianJi ) to the environment model M in each update step t. An odometry filter estimates the vehicle movement in x direction (Ax) and the rotation aroimd the z axis (ij/y) for the next time step (t + 1). Accordingly, the environment model M has to be translated in x (T ) and rotated in z inverse to the ego-motion of the vehicle (see Eq. 3). This approach ensures that the environment model is kept consistent with the relative position of the vehicle for the next time step M(t -Hi). 

Figure 2 The rotating frame coordinate system. The coordinate system is assumed to be rotating at the same frequency as e, and consequentiy S, appears to be stationary aiong the x-ax-is. The x,y magnetization M, generated after a puise, wiii be stationary aiong the j axis if the Larmor precession frequency is equai to the puise frequency or rotating at a frequency Av, corresponding to the frequency difference.

In this equation ax(v) is the atomic polarizability tensor free from any rotational contribution. Its elements are, however, still interrelated through the dependency condition (9.84). The problem can be solved if a set of bond displacement coordinates [Eqs. (4.96) and (4.97)] instead of atomic displacement coordinates is used. A rotation-free bond polarizability tensor is defined as... 

For practical realization of the dependence shown in Figure 54 a lead mask with a window, the contom- of which can be represented by the fimction F p, q>), where p is the radius-vector, and cp is the angle between the radius-vector and the polar axis. The value of

determined values of radiation duration, and p = r (additional coordinates in Figure 53). Figure 54 presents fimction F p, in polar coordinates. A lead mask with diameter of, for example, 80 mm and with such window in the center (for the remainder with thickness of, for example, J > 40 mm, at which the influence of penetrated radiation dose on properties of PP film is neglected under present conditions) is placed between the ray source and PP film. The centers of the sample and the mask are superposed, aroimd which the sample or the mask rotate for 96 hours (r ax = 96 h). The rotation frequency is chosen so that at incomplete rotations the lack of radiation on some parts of the PP film can be neglected [165].
