Figure 5
Relationship between the hexagonal unit vectors and (red) of Mn3Sn and the spin basis vectors (green). In (a) a Cartesian basis, with vectors and , is used. In (b) an oblique spin basis, with vectors and , is employed to describe the Mn3Sn structure with the spins rotated by 90°. In both figures the blue dashed lines represent the first and second axes of the reference frame used to express the tensors. |
