Name:'SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP_MAGN_OG_CENTERING'
Parent category:
MAGNETIC
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.
Category is of type Loop
