Type II magnetic space groups, , are made up of all the symmetry operations of the crystallographic space group, , plus the product of those operations with time reversal operation, . Equivalently, this can be seen as the direct product of an ordinary space group with the point group 1 ′ {\displaystyle 1'} .
The Wyckoff positions are named after Ralph Wyckoff, an American X-ray crystallographer who authored several books in the field.His 1922 book, The Analytical Expression of the Results of the Theory of Space Groups, [3] contained tables with the positional coordinates, both general and special, permitted by the symmetry elements.
In group theory, the symmetry group of a geometric object is the group of all transformations under which the object is invariant, endowed with the group operation of composition. Such a transformation is an invertible mapping of the ambient space which takes the object to itself, and which preserves all the relevant structure of the object.
In 2011, the Magnetic Space Groups data compiled from H.T. Stokes & B.J. Campbell's [4] and D. Litvin's [5] 's works general positions/symmetry operations and Wyckoff positions for different settings, along with systematic absence rules have also been incorporated into the server and a new shell has been dedicated to the related tools (MGENPOS, MWYCKPOS, MAGNEXT).
The symmetry elements are ordered the same way as in the symbol of corresponding point group (the group that is obtained if one removes all translational components from the space group). The symbols for symmetry elements are more diverse, because in addition to rotations axes and mirror planes, space group may contain more complex symmetry ...
A pentagonal bipyramid and the Schoenflies notation that defines its symmetry: D 5h (a vertical quintuple axis of symmetry and a plane of horizontal symmetry equidistant from the two vertices) The Schoenflies (or Schönflies ) notation , named after the German mathematician Arthur Moritz Schoenflies , is a notation primarily used to specify ...
In crystallography, a crystallographic point group is a three dimensional point group whose symmetry operations are compatible with a three dimensional crystallographic lattice. According to the crystallographic restriction it may only contain one-, two-, three-, four- and sixfold rotations or rotoinversions.
The concept of a double group was introduced by Hans Bethe for the quantitative treatment of magnetochemistry.Because the fermions change phase with 360 degree rotation, enhanced symmetry groups that describe band degeneracy and topological properties of magnonic systems are needed, which depend not only on geometric rotation, but on the corresponding fermionic phase factor in representations ...
