COMPUTER DATABASE OF MAGNETIC-STRUCTURES DETERMINED BY NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION

In this work a proposal for a magnetic database and its presentation b y computer program is given. The source files are organized in a way s trictly adhering to CIF standard, accepted by International Union of C rystallography. These files contain information about the paramagnetic phase above the magnetic phase transition, and the magnetically order ed phases below the transition. The magnetic structure description inc ludes the transition temperatures, magnitude of the magnetic moments a nd their directions. Symmetry-based description is also given. Corresp onding references are given for all the information. These information s are presented by a program written in C + +, in text and graphic mod es, which provides a possibility to search, to show and print all the information and draw crystallographic and magnetic unit cells.
