对单晶开展非弹性中子散射实验，可解析分子自旋团簇的磁跃迁强度随动量转移矢量Q的变化规律。当单一对称物种介导该跃迁且局域自旋算子仅含该物种的一次出现时，点群会完全确定这种依赖关系，此类普适Q依赖关系的函数已被制成表格。本文表明，即便不满足上述条件，对于所有具有团簇对称性的哈密顿量，在给定几何结构下，点群仍会确定强度为零的动量转移点，我们将这类动量转移点称为消光（extinctions），并推导了一个方程，其每个零点均对应一个消光，该方程由两个能级的对称物种、磁位点的位置及散射振幅构建而成。在两种情况下可直接得到消光的闭式解：一是每个对称等价位点轨道贡献介导物种的一次出现；二是位点相位在某个子群下以至多一个公因子重现。
英文摘要
Inelastic neutron scattering on a single crystal resolves how the intensity of a magnetic transition of a molecular spin cluster varies with the momentum-transfer vector $\mathbf{Q}$. The point group fixes that dependence completely when a single symmetry species mediates the transition and the local spin operators contain only one occurrence of that species. Functions for such universal $\mathbf{Q}$ dependences have been tabulated. As we show here, even when these conditions are not fulfilled, the point group still fixes, at a given geometry, momentum transfers at which the intensity vanishes for every Hamiltonian that has the symmetry of the cluster. We call such momentum transfers extinctions and derive an equation whose every zero is an extinction, built from the symmetry species of the two levels and from the positions and scattering amplitudes of the magnetic sites. The extinctions follow in closed form in two cases: when each orbit of symmetry-equivalent sites contributes a single occurrence of the mediating species, and when the site phases recur under a subgroup up to one common factor.
