Building a spin system with fit-mart is based on crystalline structures already researched. Most of the papers for reference or study cost at least $35.00. The only other option is to find crystalline compounds created in nature which could be analogous to your own spin chain or cluster. I do believe the Internet will have information about such compounds because I have knowledge of both inorganic and organic chemistry. But without these papers as reference you're working somewhat in the blind.

Moreover this is only a simulation and unless you have access to a physical lab with the necessary chemicals you cannot built these crystalline structures and test them.

The abstract portion of the experimental data provides miniscule information with an image most often of the spin chain or cluster but still you are limited in understanding since in order to get the whole picture of what is going on you must buy the reference paper.

I do believe this is the catch for using the simulator....

I found this simulator just what I needed to better understand spin-1/2, spin-0 and spin-1 particles. Since photons theoretically have zero mass the X parameters/fields in Tesla are usually set to zero. I'm not sure if the Lande g factor or gyromagnetic ratio g or the Bohr magneton apply to photons, bosons, since they carry no charge. Anyway I set these parameters to zero as well.

On the other hand all these parameters do play a major role in defining the electron. Especially the Bohr magneton for the direct behavior of the electron in a magnetic field. In effect, this is a great simulator for learning to understand the properties of charged particles fundamentally as well as bond energies and particle interactions.

If only there was more practical information on the use of the data and the simulator itself. That is, more on learning to read the plots more scientifically. Otherwise this simulator is awesome.

Thanks guys for a great quantum mechanical tool to help me with my research....
