Unity gives strength: combining Bertaut's and Belov's concepts and the formalism of aperiodic crystals to solve magnetic structures of unprecedented complexity

Abstract

We draw attention to the exceptional work of Geers et al. [(2024). IUCrJ, 11, 910–920] on the analysis of magnetic phases, in which challenging magnetic structures are determined by a combination of modern computational methods and a connection between nuclear modulation and the ordering of magnetic moments is shown.
