Table 1.5.5.1 | top | pdf |
The numbers of the crystallographic space groups that allow a phase transition into a weakly ferromagnetic state and the invariants of lowest order that are responsible for weak ferromagnetism

Note that the standard numbering of space groups is used in this table, not the one employed by Turov (1963[link]).

System Nos. of the space groups Invariants Case No.
Monoclinic 3–15 [M_{x}L_{y}], [M_{z}L_{y}], [M_{y}L_{x}], [M_{y}L_{z}] [{1}]
Orthorhombic 16–74 [M_{x}L_{y}], [M_{y}L_{x}] [{2}]
[M_{y}L_{z}], [M_{z}L_{y}] [{3}]
[M_{x}L_{z}], [M_{z}L_{x}] [{4}]
Tetragonal 75–88 [M_{x}L_{y}+M_{y}L_{x}], [M_{x}L_{x}-M_{y}L_{y}] [{5}]

[{M_{x}L_{y}+M_{y}L_{x}}] [{7}]
[{M_{x}L_{x}-M_{y}L_{y}}] [{8}]
Trigonal 149–167 [{M_{x}L_{y}-M_{y}L_{x}}] [{9}, {10}]

[{iM_{z}[(L_{x}+iL_{y})^{3}-(L_{x}-iL_{y})^{3}]}], [{i[(M_{x}+iM_{y})(L_{x}+iL_{y})^{2}-(M_{x}-iM_{y})(L_{x}-iL_{y})^{2}]L_{z}}] [{13}]
[{M_{z}[(L_{x}+iL_{y})^{3}+(L_{x}-iL_{y})^{3}]}], [{[(M_{x}+iM_{y})(L_{x}+iL_{y})^{2}+(M_{x}-iM_{y})(L_{x}-iL_{y})^{2}]L_{z}}] [{14}]
