Table 12.

Potential coefficients c²₀ and c²₂ (eq 4) and corresponding principal values of the ordering tensor in spherical tensor notation, S²₀ and S²₂ (eq 11), and in Cartesian notation, according to ${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{xx}}=(1∕2)\sqrt{3∕2}{{\mathrm{S}}^2}_2-0.5{{\mathrm{S}}^2}_0;{\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{yy}}=-(1∕2)\sqrt{3∕2}{{\mathrm{S}}^2}_2-0.5{{\mathrm{S}}^2}_0$; and S_zz = S²₀. Note that reversing the sign of c²₂ will cause the values of S_xx and S_yy to be exchanged.
