12 Interference between nuclear and magnetic scattering General note: When the magnetic unit cell is larger than the nuclear one (propagation vector k 0) the interference between nuclear and magnetic scattering is absent in any (un)polarized neutron diffraction experiment. Reason: Magnetic Bragg peaks appear at different positions in reciprocal space
13 Only amplitudes can be determined Spin/atom magnetic moment S = S 0 cos(πkz + φ),k = 3 4 Amplitude I S 0 + S 0 F cos(φ) φ =7π/8 φ = π/ The phase Φ is not accessible and the magnetic moments on the atoms cannot be determined. 3
14 powder diffraction, + and - + thanks to strong dependence of Q on S and q the powder experiment is in most cases sufficient + experimentally simple, full q-range is detected, no missed incommensurate satellites, better resolution + no difficult corrections, e.g. extinction, crystal shape - peak overlapping/multiplicity in powder data puts a restriction on the determination of spin direction - small spin components (~0 - μb) are difficult to detect - multi-k structures are difficult cases 4

39 Classifying possible magnetic structures Reducing magnetic representation group element g g g3 g4 Mn-position Magnetic representation is reducible to a block-diagonal shape that is a direct sum of irreducible square matrices (dimensions can be from to 6.) τ τ τ 3... = τ τ τ Each of these matrices acts only on a subspace of the spin components. Sτ, Sτ,... are vectors with dimension of matrix S τ S τ S τ3.. each componet of Sτ is a linear combinations of spin components s x s y s z s x s y s z s x3 s y3 s z3 s x4 s y4 s z4 39
40 Landau theory of phase transitions says that only one irreducible representation is needed to describe the structure Why the Landau theory does work for magnetic phase transition is a separate topic. 40

C S τ3 + C S τ3 + C 3 S τ3 4
42 Steps 3-4 in practice Solving/refining the magnetic structure by using one irreducible representation. construct basis functions for single irreducible representation irrep (use BasIreps, SARAh, MODY). plug them in the FULLPROF and try to fit the data. In difficult cases the Monte-Carlo simulated annealing search is required 3. If the fit is bad go to and choose different irrep. If the fit is good it is still better to sort out all irreps. 4
