MAGNEXT: Magnetic Systematic Absences


Systematic absences for magnetic superspace groups  

Magnetic Systematic absences
This program provides the systematic absences for non-polarized neutron magnetic diffraction corresponding to any Shubnikov magnetic space group. The program can also provide a list of magnetic space groups that are compatible with a set of systematic absences introduced by the user. (For incommensurate cases, the program provides the systematic absences for a superspace group defined by the user)

This program can be used in three different ways:
  • Option A

  • Input data :

    • A Magnetic Space Group in standard setting (BNS or OG), given by means of its label, or chosen from a table displayed when you click on the button [choose it ].

    Output data :

    • The systematic absences of the group in the chosen setting.
  • Option B

  • Input data :

    • A magnetic space group specified by means of the symmetry cards of a set of generators of the space group.

    Output data :

    • The systematic absences of the group. The corresponding magnetic space group in the standard settings (BNS and OG) and the transformation matrices are also given.
  • Option C

  • Input data :

    • A set of systematic absences in BNS or OG setting.

    Output data :

    • A list of Magnetic Space Group compatible with the chosen systematic absences.

    Option A: List of systematic absences for a chosen magnetic space group in standard and non conventional settings

Magnetic Space Group number: Please, enter the label of group or


    Option B: List of systematic absences for a magnetic space group in any setting

Choose the setting of the magnetic space group:
BNS | OG


Symmetry operations:
Only a set of generators of the group in [symmetry cards notation] is necessary



    Option C: List of magnetic space groups compatible with a given set of systematic absences.

Select the setting in which the systematic absences will be expressed:
BNS | OG
(only conventional settings are allowed)
Non-magnetic space group (optional):      

Choose one or more systematic absences:
