Fig. 5: Calculated neutron form factor for a plaquette.

From: Observation of plaquette fluctuations in the spin-1/2 honeycomb lattice

Fig. 5

The neutron form factor of an Yb6 hexagon calculated within the random-phase approximation at 0.5 meV and assuming Neel order on the plaquette. The directions of the neutron measurement are indicated by white arrows: cut I corresponds to (h, h, 0), cut II is (0, −k, 0) and cut III is (h, −1, 0). High-symmetry points are labelled similar to Fig. 3. Basis vectors of the reciprocal lattice are denoted as a*, b*.
