nondimensionalized positions of atoms away from their equilibrium positions, wrt a normal mode of vibration

Defining Formula: $\begin{array}{ccc}q& \equiv & \sqrt{\gamma }Q\\ \gamma & \equiv & \frac{2\pi c\omega }{\hslash }\end{array}$

$Q$ symbol represents normal coordinate

$\hslash$ symbol represents reduced Planck constant

$\omega$ symbol represents vibration frequency (harmonic)

$c$ symbol represents speed of light in vacuum

$q$ symbol represents normal coordinate (dimensionless)
