this is probably not quite enough for your purposes > Can you please suggest any reference in the present context if possible? Group theory used to be a standard component of any graduate course in solid-state theory, when I was a student (i.e. quite some time ago). Plenty of references on this topic. You may want to start from: Symmetry in the Solid State, by Knox & Gold Symmetry principles in solid state and molecular physics, by Lax Group theory in quantum mechanics, by Heine or many other titles that you will easily discover by "googling" HTH - SB > > Thanks > Ajit > _______________________________________________ > Pw_forum mailing list > Pw_forum at pwscf.org > http://www.democritos.it/mailman/listinfo/pw_forum --- Stefano Baroni - SISSA & DEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center - Trieste http://stefano.baroni.me [+39] 040 3787 406 (tel) -528 (fax) / stefanobaroni (skype) La morale est une logique de l'action comme la logique est une morale de la pens?e - Jean Piaget -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
