- We have simulated the magnetic Bragg scattering in transmission electron microscopy in two antiferromagnetic compounds, NiO and LaMnAsO. This weak magnetic phenomenon was experimentally observed in NiO by Loudon (2012). We have computationally reproduced Loudon's experimental data, and for comparison we have performed calculations for the LaMnAsO compound as a more challenging case, containing lower concentration of magnetic elements and strongly scattering heavier non-magnetic elements. We have also described thickness and voltage dependence of the intensity of the antiferromagnetic Bragg spot for both compounds. We have considered lattice vibrations within two computational approaches, one assuming a static lattice with Debye-Waller smeared potentials, and another explicitly considering the atomic vibrations within the quantum excitations of phonons model (thermal diffuse scattering). The structural analysis shows that the antiferromagnetic Bragg spot appears in between (111) and (000) reflections for NiO, while for LaMnAsO the antiferromagnetic Bragg spot appears at the position of the (010) reflection in the diffraction pattern, which corresponds to a forbidden reflection of the crystal structure. Calculations predict that the intensity of the magnetic Bragg spot in NiO is significantly stronger than thermal diffuse scattering at room temperature. For LaMnAsO, the magnetic Bragg spot is weaker than the room-temperature thermal diffuse scattering, but its detection can be facilitated at reduced temperatures.

- We have modeled the magnetic Bragg scattering in two antiferromagnetic materials, NiO and LaMnAsO, using transmission electron microscopy. Experimentally, Loudon detected these weak magnetic phenomena in NiO. As a more difficult situation with a lower concentration of magnetic elements and higher concentration of heavier non-magnetic elements that significantly scatter, we did computations for the LaMnAsO compound in order to compare our computational replication of Loudon's experimental data. Additionally, we have discussed the antiferromagnetic Bragg spot's thickness and voltage dependency for both compounds. We used two computational methods, one assuming a static lattice with smeared Debye-Waller potentials and the other explicitly taking into account the atomic vibrations within the quantum excitations of phonons model (thermal diffuse scattering). According to the structural study, the antiferromagnetic Bragg spot in NiO is located between the (111) and (000) reflections. However, in LaMnAsO, it is located at the site of the (110) reflection in the diffraction pattern, which is a forbidden reflection of the crystal structure. According to calculations, the magnetic Bragg spot in NiO has an intensity that is much greater than thermal diffuse scattering at room temperature. The magnetic Bragg spot for LaMnAsO is weaker than the thermal diffuse scattering at room temperature, but its identification can be made easier at lower temperatures.
