What is Relations between angular and Cartesian orientational expansions about?
Orientational expansions, which are widely used in natural sciences, exist in angular and Cartesian forms. Although these expansions are orderwise equivalent, it is difficult to relate them in practice. In this article, both types of expansions and their relations are explained in detail. We give explicit formulas for the conversion between angular and Cartesian expansion coefficients for functions depending on one, two, and three angles in two and three spatial dimensions. These formulas are useful, e.g., for comparing theoretical and experimental results in liquid crystal physics. The application of the expansions in the definition of orientational order parameters is also discussed.
Who reads Relations between angular and Cartesian orientational expansions?
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Materials Science.
