Parent category:

Definition:
This loop provides a list of centering translations in an OG(k)-supercell description of a magnetic space group. For an OG(k)-supercell description, this loop is mandatory and entirely distinct from the optional SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP_MAGN_CENTERING loop used to simplify the presentation of a BNS-supercell description. An integer translation in an OG setting of a type-4 magnetic space group may have a time-reversal component of -1, in which case it is actually an anti-translation vector rather than a lattice vector. This loop should include all centering and anti-centering translations, but does not include the time-reversal components, which are instead determined using the value of the _space_group_magn.OG_wavevector_kxkykz tag. Because the centering translations are listed in a separate loop in the OG(k) description, only representative point operations remain in the main SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP_MAGN_OPERATION loop.
