Lecture notes in physics,0075-8450 ;801Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-642-11171-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Line Groups Structure -- Symmetrical Compounds -- Irreducible Representations -- Tensors -- Magnetic Line Groups -- Vibrational Analysis -- Applications -- Nanotubes.This volume gives a detailed and up-to-date overview of the line groups, the groups that describe the symmetry of quasi-one dimensional crystals. Nanotubes, nanowires, nanosprings, nanorods, and polymers are examples remarkable enough to have kept nanoscience as a leading field within material science and solid state physics for more than fifteen years now. The authors present the mathematical foundations, including classifications of the line groups, quasi one-dimensional crystals and quantum numbers, together with important applications. Extensive illustrations related to the physics of nanotubes make the book essential reading in this field above all. The book clearly demonstrates how symmetry is a most profound property of nature and contains valuable results that are published here for the first time.Lecture notes in physics ;801.Nanostructured materialsSymmetry groupsNanostructured materials.Symmetry groups.530.411Damnjanovic M(Milan),1953-1755402Milosevic I(Ivanka)515325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139473903321Line groups in physics4192174UNINA
