D. A. Kleinman by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
A theoretical optical physicist who studied the physical mechanisms of second-order nonlinear polarization. His 1962 analysis distinguishes strongly dispersive ionic motion from electronic response far below its resonances. The additional permutation constraints associated with Kleinman symmetry reduce the number of independent response coefficients, but require assumptions about the frequency dependence of the mechanism.[ref]
