Generation of basis vectors for magnetic structures and displacement modes
Zoso Davies, Andrew Wills
Increasing attention is being focussed on the use of symmetry-adapted functions to describe magnetic structures, structural distortions, and incommensurate crystallography. Though…
A historical introduction to the symmetries of magnetic structures: Part 1. Early quantum theory, neutron powder diffraction and the colored space groups
Andrew S Wills
This paper introduces the historical development of the symmetries for describing magnetic structures culminating in the derivation of the black and white and colored space groups.…
Magnetoelastic effects in doped Fe2P
Z. Gercsi, E. K. Delczeg-Czirjak, L. Vitos +3
We use combine high resolution neutron diffraction (HRPD) with density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the exchange striction at the Curie temperature (TC) of Fe2P and to ex…
Spherical neutron polarimetry study of hysteresis in multiferroic MnWO4
A Poole, A S Wills, P J Brown
The electric-field dependence of the magnetic structure of multiferroic MnWO4 has been investigated using spherical neutron polarimetry as a function of temperature. The applicatio…
Intermediate phase in the oxidative hydrothermal synthesis of potassium jarosite, a model kagome antiferromagnet
W. Bisson, A. S. Wills
The jarosite family of minerals contain antiferromagnetically coupled Fe3+ ions that make up the kagome network. This geometric arrangement of the Fe3+ ions causes magnetic frustra…
Kagome spin ice
A. S. Wills, R. Ballou, C. Lacroix
A new model of localized highly frustrated ferromagnetism is presented: kagome spin ice. By use of analytical and Monte Carlo calculations its massive groundstate entropy is evalua…
