Abstract
Optical second-harmonic (SH) spectroscopy is introduced as a powerful suppl ement for the determination of complex magnetic structures. Experimental ef forts are simplified and new degrees of freedom are opened. Thereby, some p rincipal or technical restrictions of neutron or magnetic X-ray diffraction experiments are overcome. As an example, various antiferromagnetic compoun ds of the Mn3+ and Cr3+ ions are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
