TENSOR DISTINCTION OF NON-FERROELASTIC MAGNETOELECTRIC DOMAIN PAIR
Of the 380 classes of magnetic completely transposable twin laws, 141 classes are non-ferroelastic completely transposable magnetoelectric twin laws. For each of these classes of domain pairs  we give the tensor distinction  for physical property tensors of the type V, aeV, [V2], aeV2,V[V2], aeV[V2], V3 and  ae[V3] , where V denotes a polar vector tensor and "a" and "e" rank zero tensors that change sing, respectively, under time inversion and spatial inversion. The file is in PDF format. See publication #64: "Non-ferroelastic Magnetoelectric Twin Laws" by D.B. Litvin, V. Janovec, and S.Y. Litvin, Ferroelectrics (1994) 162, 275-280.

NON-MAGNETIC TWIN LAWS
For a phase transition between a high symmetry phase of non-magnetic point group symmetry G and low symmetry phase of non-magnetic point group F, this program calculates:
    The coset and double coset decomposition of the point group G with respect to the point group subgroup F.
    Indexes the domain states S(i) which arise in such a transition.
    Calculates the point group symmetry F(i) of each domain state.
    Calculates the permutations of the domain states S(i) under the action of elements g of the point group G.
    Calculates all domain pair {S(i),S(j)} in each class of domain pairs.
    Calculates a representative domain pair {S(1),S(j)} from each class of domain pairs.
    Calculates for each representative domain pair its symmetry group J(1,j) and its twinning group K(1,j).
    Calculates the domain pair {S(1), gS(1)} and its symmetry and twinning groups.
    Calculates the symmetry and twinning groups of an arbitrary domain pair {S(i),S(j)}.

BRIEF PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE SCANNING TABLES
If a crystal is transected by a plane then the subgroup of all elements of the space group of the crystal which leaves the plane invariant is a layer group. The layer groups corresponding to all planes of a crystallographic orientation for all space groups are tabulated in the scanning tables to be published in the forthcoming volume of the International Tables for Crystallography: Volume E: Subperiodic Groups by V. Kopsky and D.B. Litvin. This is my personal guide to interpreting the information  in the scanning tables.

TENSOR DISTINCTION OF DOMAINS IN FERROIC CRYSTALS
This supplementary material  contains (1) a listing of the 247 classes of non-magnetic ferroic phase transitions from G to F. For one transition in each class we give G, F, gij, and the twinning group Kij  (2) the distinct double coset classes of non-magnetic domain pairs (3) the 137 tensor classes of non magnetic domain pairs and (4) for 22 tensor types and each of the 139 tensor classes listed is if the tensor type can or can not distinguish between the domains of domain pairs belonging to the tensor class. See publication #77: Tensor Distinction of Domains in Ferroic Crystals," by D.B. Litvin, Acta Crystallographica A55 884-890 (1999).

MAGNETIC SUBPERIODIC GROUPS
This file contains a short introduction to magnetic subperiodic groups. Symbols for the types of these groups are constructed in analogy to the Opechowski-Guccione symbols  for magnetic space groups. Tables are given that list one group from each type. Each group is specified not only by its symbol but also by explicitly listing the coset representatives of the coset decomposition of the group with respect to its translational subgroup. See publication #78: "Magnetic Subperiodic Groups," by D.B. Litvin, Acta Crystallographica (1999) A55 963-964.

MAGNETIC SPACE GROUP TYPES
The interpretation of Opechowski-Guccione symbols for magnetic space group types is based on coordinate triplets given in the now superceded  International Tables for X-Ray Crystallography (1952). Changes to coordinate triplets in the International Tables for Crystallography (1983) lead to misinterpretations of these symbols. We provide here a list of Opechowski-Guccione symbols for the 1651 magnetic space group types with their original definitions given independent of the International Tables. See publication #86 "Magnetic Space Group Types," Acta Crystallographica (2001) A57 729-730.

SYMMETRY RELATIONS OF MAGNETIC DOMAIN PAIRS ( TWIN LAWS )
Symmetry relationships between two simultaneously observed domain states (domain pair) are used to determine physical properties which can distinguish between the observed domains.  A computer program generates these symmetry relationships,  in terms of magnetic point groups, i.e. we determine and tabulate all possible magnetic symmetry groups and magnetic twinning groups of domain pairs. See publication #87 " Symmetry Relations of Magnetic Domain Pairs," by J. Schlessman and D.B. Litvin, Acta Crystallographica, A57 731 - 732 (2001).

DOMAIN AVERAGE ENGINEERING
In a domain average engineered sample of a multidomain ferroic, the sample is divided into a very large number of domains, representing m domain states where m is less than the theoretically allowed maximum number n of domain states. The response to external fields is described by tensorial properties averaged over all the involved domain states. We have developed a program to classify subsets of m < n domain states which can arise in a ferroic phase transition. We calculate properties of these subsets of domain states, including the symmetry of the subset, the subset domain polarizations and magnetizations, and, if they exist, the poling directions which gives rise to the subsets of domain states. See Publication #90 " Domain Average Engineering in Ferroics," by B. Shaparenko, J. Schlessman, and D.B. Litvin, Ferroelectrics, 269 9 - 14 (2002).

SPACE-GROUP SCANNING TABLES
Due to page limitations, in Volume E: "Subperiodic Groups" of the International Tables for Crystallography not all scanning tables were explicitly given. Instead, auxiliary tables were given providing information from which to construct the additional tables. We have constructed these additional tables and present them here
