_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
