Style#

  • Vectors are written in bold-face, e.g. \(\mathbf{E}\)

  • Tensors are double underlined, e.g. \(\underline{\underline{\chi}}\)

  • Unit vectors are written with a hat, e.g. \(\hat{\mathbf{E}}=\mathbf{E}/E\)

  • Units at legends of graphs are separated using \(/\), e.g. for temperature in kelvin \(T/\mathrm{K}\)
