Computer database of magnetic structures determined by neutron diffraction

In this work a proposal for a magnetic database and its presentation by computer program is given. The source files are organized in a way strictly adhering to CIF standard, accepted by International Union of Crystallography. These files contain information about the paramagnetic phase above the magnetic phase transition, and the magnetically ordered phases below the transition. The magnetic structure description includes the transition temperatures, magnitude of the magnetic moments and their directions. Symmetry-based description is also given. Corresponding references are given for all the information. These informations are presented by a program written in C + +, in text and graphic modes, which provides a possibility to search, to show and print all the information and draw crystallographic and magnetic unit cells.
