Some excerpts from J.S.Plant (1970) PhD Thesis:

Neutron Diffraction studies of the relationshp between the Magnetic and Chemical Structures of some Manganese alloys

Introduction and Chapter 1 Diffraction by solids the results obtained here for magnetite were written up in a 1982 paper Chapter 2 Computation of nuclear and magnetic diffraction patterns Chapter 3 An introduction to Heusler alloys, AuMn and Au2(Mn,Z)2 Chapter 4a and 4b Chemical ordering in ternary alloys this chapter was summarised in a 1971 paper Chapter 5 Helimagnetic Au2MnAl and molecular field theory (excerpts only) a summary of the theoretical phase diagrams was included in a 1973 paper Chapter 6 Experimental results for Au2(Mn,Z)2; Z=Al,Cu,Ga,In,Y,Zn some further experimental results were included in a 1979 and a 1981 paper Chapter 7 Au2(Mn,Z)2: Relationship between magnetic and chemical configurations (excerpts only) a better analysis and modelling of the exchange interactions was included in a 1979 paper Chapter 8 Au2(Mn,Z)2: Metallography, homogeneity and critical temperatures a summary of these results was included in a 1973 paper Chapter 9 Summary and main Conclusions (excerpts only) developed further in detail in some subsequent papers in 1973, 1979 and 1981 Appendix I The measurement of structure factors: the scattering amplitude of potassium the result of these measurements was included in a very short 1968 paper Appendix II Data for diffraction computations (omitted here) Appendix III Weighted least squares expressions for parameter determinations some of these expressions were included in an Appendix of a 1973 paper Appendix IV Chemical ordering in some 'Heusler' and 'C1b' alloys some, but not all, of these results were included in a 1971 paper Appendix V Molecular field theory for various moment arrays (omitted here) some further application of such theory was included in 1973 and 1979 papers
