本文提出了一種利用偏振橢球可視化偏振張量的替代方法,並將其與能量橢球進行比較,認為偏振橢球對於張量可視化的入門介紹更為簡單直接。

คำพูด
“The mathematics of tensors is particularly useful for describing properties of substances which vary in direction – although that’s only one example of their use.”
“... one of the important properties of crystals – or of most substances – is that their electric polarizability is different in different directions. If you apply a field in any direction, the atomic charges shift a little and produce a dipole moment, but the magnitude of the moment depends very much on the direction of the field.”
"Comparing the polarization and energy ellipsoids, one can see that the former is built directly from Eq. (1) (by only considering E constant), whereas the latter requires, in addition to this equation, the introduction of the energy density given in Eq. (2)."
