The SpinWave_BCO Component

A sample for FM and AFM magnon scattering from a oI lattice based on cross section expressions from Marshall and Lovesey ch.9.

Identification

Description

Single-cylinder shape.
Absorption included.
No multiple scattering.
No incoherent scattering emitted.
No attenuation from coherent scattering. No Bragg scattering.
Bravais lattice only. (i.e. just one spin per sublattice unit cell)

Algorithm:
0. Always perform the scattering if possible (otherwise ABSORB)
1. Choose direction within a focusing solid angle
2. Choose mode seperated by applied B-field
3. Calculate the zeros of (E_i-E_f-hbar omega(kappa)) as a function of k_f
4. Choose one value of k_f (always at least one is possible!)
5. Perform the correct weight transformation

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
