For α < 0, the lowest energy orientation would be a 90° angle with respect to the z-axis, so lying in the xy-plane. For α > 0, the lowest energy orientation is parallel to the z-axis at 0° or 180°, as mentioned in the video. Author Posts Viewing 1 post (of 1 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
