iFit/sw_spinmotion

PURPOSE ^

calculates the amplitude and phase of spin motion

SYNOPSIS ^

function spectra = sw_spinmotion(spectra, varargin)

DESCRIPTION ^

 calculates the amplitude and phase of spin motion

 SW_SPINMOTION(spectra, 'option1', value1 ...)

 It calculates the amplitude and phase of the local spin precessions
 belonging to a selected normal magnon mode.

 Options:

 iMagnon   Index of the normal magnon mode. Number has to be between one
           and nMagExt, the number of spins in the magnetic supercell.
           Default is the first magnon mode.
 Q         Momentum of the magnon in reciprocal lattice units (r.l.u.).
           Either a vector (Qh,Qk,Ql) where spectra is calculated with
           dimensions of [3 1], or scalar denoting the index of the Q
           point in the list of calculated Q points. Default is the first
           Q point.

 Output:

 Spectra contains an additional spectra.motion field with the following
 subfields:

 Amp1, Amp2    Orthogonal spin wave amplitude vectors for every spin in
               the magnetic supercell, dimensions are [3 nMagExt]. The
               selected normal magnon will create on the i-th spin a
               precession around the ground state direction along the
               ellipse defined by the Amp1(:,i) and Amp2(:,i) orthogonal
               vectors as major and minor axes. At t=0 the spin deviation
               vector points along Amp1.
 iQ            Index the magnon momentum, spectra.hkl(:,iQ) gives the
               magnon momentum in r.l.u. units.
 iMagnon       The index of the normal magnon mode.
 omega         Energy of the selected normal magnon mode. It gives also
