Revealing magnetic structure


Using the basal functions to form the magnetic moment vectors

The practical usage of the theory of symmetry for determination of magnetic structure is based on the following expression S0jλCνλS(kν/λ|j) that links the Fourier-components of vector of magnetic moment with the basal vectors by mix factors. S(kν/λ|j) is the basal vector, Cνλ is the mix factor of λ-th basal function. When the basal vectors is complex, it is impossible to satisfy to condition of complex conjugation of Fourier-components for the arms k and -k of the two - arms star in frames of simple variational process. To provide the reality of components of magnetic moments it is necessary to find some linear combinations of the basal functions of the arms k and -k. This combination should satisfy to condition of complex conjugation of Fourier-components for any values of the mixing factors. The current version of this program doesn't perform this job. Therefore it is necessary to do this manually. After this transformation the obtained magnetic structure will satisfy to conditions of symmetry of the propagation vector.
