Abstract:
We review theoretical studies of magnetically ordered materials using slow neutron scattering. We consider methods for decoding magnetic structures using symmetry theory (irreducible representations of space groups) and the theory of small-angle neutron scattering by large-scale inhomogeneities in magnetic materials.
Keywords:wave vector of the magnetic structure, space group, irreducible representation, basis function, neutron diffraction, small-angle scattering, neutron optics.
