    Dynamical su(8) for phase-coexistence: Thermodynamics of an so(4) × so(4) submodel

    We review a scheme for describing a multi-phase interacting system of electrons within the dynamical algebra su(8): we discuss the thermodynamics of a submodel which incorporates the relevant physics, and has ...

    Recent Developments in Non-Local Optics

    In this paper a brief account is given of results of some recent investigations of four classes of effects due to non-locality (or spatial dispersion) upon optical phenomena in bounded solids. These are: Reson...

    Molien function and calculation of invariant polynomials for space groups

    We have developed an algorithm for the computation of the Molien function (generating for the multiplicity of the identity representation in the symmetrized nth power of representation P of group G) and used it t...

    Microscopic Theory of Lattice Raman Scattering in Crystals Containing Impurities

    In this paper we develop a general theory of lattice Raman scattering by an insulator containing isolated mass defects which have no net charge with respect to the perfect lattice. The theory given here is spe...
