Hands-On Tutorial: Magnetic Structure Determination Using Fullprof and SARAh Representation Analysis — •Matthias Frontzek — Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Neutron Scattering Division, One Bethel Valley Road, 37831 Oak Ridge, TN, USA

The determination of magnetic structures is a crucial aspect of materials science, particularly for understanding the magnetic properties of novel materials. Given the limited availability of neutrons with the closure of smaller sources, competitive access to beam time, and the high hurdles associated with software usage, there is an increasing need for training in the analysis of magnetic structures. This tutorial aims to provide participants with practical skills in magnetic structure determination using SARAh and Fullprof, two powerful tools frequently utilized in this field.
Participants will:
-Gain hands-on experience with the tools and techniques necessary for magnetic structure determination.
-Refine nuclear and magnetic structures using real data sets.
-Understand key concepts in diffraction techniques and steps involved in the magnetic structure determination process.
Important: for Hands-on participation, please bring a laptop with a working installation of Fullprof (https://www.ill.eu/sites/fullprof/).
