The rotation of molecules in fields of octahedral symmetry

摘要: A problem in quantum mechanics which has important applications the theory of specific heats and dielectric constants solids, is that determining rotational energy states a molecule potential field, such as occurs crystal. mathematical treatment rotation molecules crystals was first given by Pauling, since been extended several other authors. In these discussions, however, either assumed to depend only on one angular coordinate or term involving second supposed be sufficiently small treated perturbation.
