Recent advances and challenges in magnetic structure determination — •Dmytro Inosov — Institut für Festkörper- und Materialphysik, TU Dresden, Germany

In this introductory tutorial talk, I will provide an overview of magnetic structure determination in the context of recent advances in magnetic materials. I will focus on the limitations and challenges of magnetic structure refinement, and explain why it is important to use the full range of complementary experimental methods alongside conventional diffraction in order to develop a consistent understanding of magnetic structures. This is particularly important when dealing with complex types of magnetic order, such as noncollinear and multi-Q spin textures, altermagnets, and systems with multiple magnetic sublattices or very weak and/or fluctuating magnetic moments.
