Spherical angle

Here D(Q) = D(a,f, y), Euler angles a, (5 and y being chosen so that the first two coincide with the spherical angles determining orientation e = e(j], a). Using the theorem about transformation of irreducible tensor operators during rotation [23], we find... 

It is noteworthy that dq(e,t) does not satisfy this relation, as equality [J,x, dq] = 2 C q dq+ll (the definition of an irreducible tensor operator) does not hold for it [23]. Integration in (7.18), performed over the spherical angles of vector e, may be completed up to an integral over the full rotational group due to the axial symmetry of the Hamiltonian relative to the field. This, together with (7.19), yields...

Since both Z and y are complex vector spaces of functions, they are closed under complex conjugation, and hence so is their tensor product. The tensor product separates points, since any two points of different radius can be separated by Ir and any two points of different spherical angle can be separated by J . Finally, the function... 

To realize these identifications, we can proceed as follows. A point P in S2 can be represented in two convenient ways (1) with the Cartesian coordinates ni,ti2,ri3, such that n2 = 1 and (2) with the spherical angles d, [Pg.206]

Integrations over the spectrum and spherical angles were done numerically with azimuth angle Increments A< >= 30°= 0.5236 radians, and zenith angle Increments Ap=... 

The left hand side of this equation represents the emitted power per unit spheric angle. The radiation is symmetrical to the orientation of acceleration v and therefore the intensity distrubution in all directions of space is obtained from Figure 8a... 

The following pseudo-code illustrates how the spherical angles can be computed from the vector y = V12 ... 

The reader should not confuse the spherical angles (0i and 0i) (which parameterize v ) with the collision angles (0 and 0) (which parameterize X12). Indeed, the integrals over the collision angles are done with fixed values of the spherical angles (i.e. fixed values of v ). 

In summary, for a given value of V12 we can compute the spherical angles (0i and 0i), and then compute the transformation matrix L from Eq. (6.25). The components of the transformation matrix appear in the definitions of the collision term for the velocity moments. In the next section, we will show that the integrals in Eq. (6.23) for the collision terms can be written as explicit functions of the components of V12 and hence it will not be necessary to compute the spherical angles in order to evaluate the integrals. Nevertheless, it is... 

Next we would like to show that the right-hand side of Eq. (6.40) does not depend on the spherical angles i and 9i. Consider first the operators... 

In order to efficiently simplify the resulting expressions, it may be helpful to define the components of L in terms of the spherical angles as given in Eq. (6.25). If this is done correctly, the final expression for should not depend on the spherical angles, but rather will be a homogeneous polynomial in powers of the components of...

Here 0,cp are the spherical angles. Similarly to the consideration of superparam-agnets proposed by Binder and Young [132], to obtain the equilibrium polarization vector (P(Eq)) = Pi, P2, P3, polarization components P,- (Eo,0,(p) should be averaged over the spherical angles 0,
