_atom_site_moment.symmform
Name:_atom_site_moment.symmform
Alias:
_atom_site_moment_symmform
Definition:
A symbolic expression that indicates the symmetry-restricted form
of the components of the magnetic moment vector of the atom.
Unlike the positional coordinates of an atom, its magnetic moment
has no translational component to be represented.
Examples:| mx,my,mz | no symmetry restrictions |
| mx,-mx,0 | y component equal and opposite to x component with z component zero |
| mx,0,mz | y component zero |
