Multipole expansion
In multipole, the electric quadrupople interaction with incident electric field:
V(2)=-[[tex]\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{Q}[/tex][tex]\nabla[/tex]][tex]\cdot[/tex]Einc(0) [tex]\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{Q}[/tex] is a tensor of rank two. [tex]\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{Q}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]\sum[/tex]qnrnrn However, [tex]\nabla[/tex][tex]\cdot[/tex]E=0. So, what is the detail expression of this tensor and how to operate it if I denote in Cartesian coordinate. Thank you! |
