mint: simulation of inelastic neutron scattering induced magnetic excitations for single-ions & finite exchange coupled spin-systems

mint simulates inelastic neutron scattering (INS) induced magnetic excitations for single-ions and finite systems of exchange coupled magnetic ions. Its purpose is to aid the planning of INS experiments and for fitting experimental data to Hamiltonian models. Such models can be applied to define the electronic structure and magnetism of single-ion magnets and exchange coupled polynuclear compounds. mint runs in MATLAB and makes use of easyspin syntax for the generation of a given spin Hamiltonian matrix. It can be run as a stand-alone toolbox or an add-on to easyspin.
