Detailed Description

The CharacterTable class provides a workable character table for all of the non-cubic point groups.

While I have tried to match the ordering in Cotton's book, I don't guarantee that it is always followed. It shouldn't matter anyway. Also note that I don't lump symmetry operations of the same class together. For example, in C3v there are two distinct C3 rotations and 3 distinct reflections, each with a separate character. Thus symop has 6 elements rather than the 3 you'll find in most published character tables.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CharacterTable()

sc::CharacterTable::CharacterTable ( const char *  ,
const SymmetryOperation  
)

This is like the above, but it also takes a reference to a SymmetryOperation which is the frame of reference.

All symmetry operations are transformed to this frame of reference.

Member Function Documentation

◆ complex()

int sc::CharacterTable::complex ( ) const
inline

Cn, Cnh, Sn, T, and Th point groups have complex representations.

This function returns 1 if the point group has a complex representation, 0 otherwise.
