Routines for Polarised Neutron Scattering

The library contains some programs and subroutines specially written to treat polarised neutron diffraction data.

The main programs are:

SORGAM
A program to calculate magnetic structure factors from polarised neutron flipping ratios.
PALSQ
Least squares refinement of magnetis structures using scattered polarisations obtained with spherical neutron polarimetry.
Some special subroutines are:
CALGAM
Solves the quadratic equation for gamma (the ratio of the magnetic to the nuclear structure factor) in terms of the flipping ratio.
CALPOL
Calculates scattered polarisations and their derivatives for structures which may have mixed magnetic and nuclear reflections.
FGAMMA
Calculates gamma, and its standard deviation from a flipping ratio measurement.
GAMEX
Calculates an extinction corrected gamma from a flipping ratio.
SETPOL
Reads the up and down polarisations of a polarised neutron beam.
