Abstract

Rotation crystal symmetry analysis of the magnetic intensities in neutron powder diffraction from magnetically ordered, collinear structures is performed. This analysis, making no reference to a specific crystal system, leads to the well-known limitations on the direction of magnetic axis determination by neutron powder diffraction. It shows that due to the second-order dependence of the magnetic intensity on the magnetic axis components, these limitations result solely from the crystal rotation symmetry in the magnetically ordered state.
