Choose the four basis-spin signs as in the order of positions listed in the source; reversing all signs changes no diffraction intensity. Apart from the common magnetic form factor and perpendicular-moment factor, the magnetic structure factor is
The first factor is nonzero exactly when and have opposite parity, and the second exactly when is odd. Thus the magnetic Bragg peaks require
When both conditions hold, before geometric and magnetic-form-factor weights. These are magnetic selection rules for the antiferromagnetic component, not conditions forbidding all nuclear diffraction at other indices.
