GTCrystalFieldSplitting

GTCrystalFieldSplitting[group1_,group2_,(character table1, character table2)]
calculates the decomposition of irreducible representations if the symmetry is lowered from group1 to group2.

DetailsDetails

  • It is assumed that group2 is a subgroup of group1. If so, irreducible representations of group1 become reducible representations of group2.
  • The module uses GTIrep to estimate how the irreducible representations of group1 split if the symmetry is lowered to group2.

In the first example, the splitting of energy levels with cubic symmetry () into levels with square symmetry () is discussed. Such a situation occurs, e.g., within a crystal under uniaxial strain.
