= Spin density wave
{title2=$\mathbf S(x)=\mathbf S_0\cos(Qx+\varphi)$}

A spatially modulated spin density, distinct from a <charge density wave>. Opposite modulations of spin-up and spin-down occupations can give a periodically varying <magnetization> while their total <charge density> stays uniform.
