The periodicity of the lattice and the definition of a k-space were the corner-stones of this application. Prof. Volker Heine in Vol. 35 of Solid State Physics (1980) noted that, even in perfect crystals, where k-space methods are appropriate, the local properties (such as the charge densi ty, bond order, etc.) are defined by the local environment of one atom. Natural ly, "k-space methods" are not appropriate for crystals with point defects, sur faces and interfaces, or for amorphous materials. In such cases the real-space approach favored by chemists to describe molecules has turned out to be very useful. To span the gulf between the k-space and real space methods it is helpful to recall that atoms in crystalline solids possess a site symmetry defined by the symmetry of the local environment of the atom occupying the site. The site symmetry concept is familiar to crystallographers and commonly used by them in the description of crystalline structures. However, in the application of group theory to solid state physics problems, the site symmetry approach has been used only | 出版日期 | Book 19931st edition | 关键词 | Group theory; Lattice; chemistry; induced representations of space groups; lattice dynamics; layer groups | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-97442-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-97442-7Series ISSN 0171-1873 Series E-ISSN 2197-4179 | issn_series | 0171-1873 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1993 |
