The aim of this microsymposium is to demonstrate the potential of magnetic diffraction when combined with advanced analytical tools such as magnetic symmetry groups and representation analysis. It will cover new methods and developments for the determination of magnetic structures, while also welcoming experimental contributions where the method used to determine the magnetic structure is itself of significant interest.
