14.75 The SpinWave_BCO McStas 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.
