Question on Magnetic Structure Representation

2004-07-26 Thread Larry W. Finger
Martin Kroeker and I have been asked to add an option to our crystal structure drawing program DRAWxtl that would represent magnetic spin vectors with an arrow. Because I don't really understand magnetic space groups, I would rather not implement a full-blown space-group generator. Would the fo

Hi Larry, The most important thing to include is the use of a propagation vector or better still, several. This means that a general magnetic structure can be built up by adding contributions from different fourier components that are defined within the nuclear cell. The matrix relating nuclear an

...add an option to our crystal structure drawing program DRAWxtl that would represent magnetic spin vectors with an arrow. It might be easiest to follow the way one of the Rietveld programmes describes magnetic spins eg the original Rietveld code (in Lachlan's WWW museum I think) only required t
