Abstract
The spatial distribution of the covalent spin density in MnF2 has been obtained from a measurement of the ``forbidden'' magnetic scattering in the nuclear reflections using polarized neutrons. A partial Fourier map of the projected covalent spin on the basal plane was prepared. A model representing the covalent spin by isolated spherical charges that is consistent with the experimental data indicates that the covalent spin density for a single bond undergoes a change in sign as we proceed from the Mn2+ to the F− ion. That part closest to the 3d unpaired electrons carries the same sign as the magnetic ion. The results are discussed in terms of the existing theory.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
