Crystal symmetry for incommensurate helical and cycloidal modulations
A classification of the symmetry of magnetic modulations is presented. Helical magnetic ordering is possible only in magnetic superspace groups with proper rotations only, i.e. from classes 1, 2, 222, 4, 422, 3, 32, 6 and 622. Cycloidal modulations are possible in groups from crystal classes 1, 2, m and mm2.


Symmetry relations in wurtzite nitrides and oxide nitrides and the curious case of Pmc21
Binary and multinary nitrides in a wurtzitic arrangement are very interesting semiconductor materials. The group–subgroup relationship between the different structural types is established.
