6.28 Magnetic spins :link(howto_28),h4

The magnetic spin simualtions are enabled by the SPIN package, whose
implementation is detailed in "Tranchida"_#Tranchida7.

The model representents the simulation of atomic magnetic spins coupled 
to lattice vibrations. The dynamics of those magnetic spins can be used 
to simulate a broad range a phenomena related to magneto-elasticity, or 
or to study the influence of defects on the magnetic properties of 
materials. 
Classical magnetic spin simualtions can be performed via the SPIN
package.  The algrorithmic and implementation details are described in
"Tranchida"_#Tranchida7.

The magnetic spins are interacting with each others and with the 
lattice via pair interactions. Typically, the magnetic exchange
