Normal Mode Coordinate (Dimensionless)

Available identifiers

MaRDI QIDQ6674077

nondimensionalized positions of atoms away from their equilibrium positions, wrt a normal mode of vibration

Defining Formula: $\begin{array}{ccc}q& \equiv & \sqrt{\gamma }Q\\ \gamma & \equiv & \frac{2\pi c\omega }{\hslash }\end{array}$

$Q$ symbol represents Normal Mode Coordinate

$\hslash$ symbol represents Planck Constant

$\omega$ symbol represents Vibration Frequency (Harmonic)

$c$ symbol represents Speed of Light

$q$ symbol represents Normal Mode Coordinate (Dimensionless)
