Single-Q and Double-Q magnetic orders: A Theoretical Analysis of Inelastic Neutron Scattering in a Centrosymmetric Structure
arXiv:2512.07428 · doi:10.1103/bdxw-7tdf
Abstract
Recent discoveries of multi-\textbf{Q} magnetic structures in centrosymmetric compounds have stimulated growing interest in their microscopic origin and observable properties. Here, we calculate the dynamical magnetic structure factor for a double-\textbf{Q} magnetic structure and compare it with that of a single-\textbf{Q} configuration. Our results demonstrate how inelastic neutron scattering can distinguish the double-\textbf{Q} state from competing single-\textbf{Q} states in this square-lattice setting.
