gm_planar

Syntax

[s, k, n, name, pname, limit] = gm_planar(S0, x)

Description

[s, k, n, name, pname, limit] = gm_planar(S0, x) generates the parameters of arbitrary planar magnetic structure from $\varphi$ angles (in radian), ordering wave vector (rlu) and spin plane normal vector ($xyz$).

Input Arguments

x

Input parameters in the following order: $[\varphi_1, \varphi_2, ... , k_x, k_y, k_z, n_\theta, n_\varphi]$.

S0

Spin quantum number in a row vector $(S_1, S_2, ...)$ or scalar if all spins are equal.

Output Arguments

S

Matrix, containing the spin orientations with dimensions of $[3\times n_{magExt}]$. Every column contains the $(S_x S_y S_z)$ spin components of a magnetic atom in the $xyz$ coordinate system.

k

Magnetic ordering wavevector in rlu units in a row vector.

n

Normal vector around which the spins are rotating for non-zero propagation vector in a row vector.

name

String, storing the name of the function.

pname

Name of the input parameters in a cell: {'Phi1_rad', ...}.

limit

Limits on the input parameters in a matrix with dimensions of $[2\times n_{param}]$. Every column contains a lower and upper limit on the corresponding parameter.
