The magnetic subperiodic groups include the 31 types of magnetic frieze groups, the 394 types of magnetic rod groups, and the 528 types of magnetic layer groups(1). Symbols for these groups have been derived in a notation analogous to the Opechowski notation for magnetic space groups(2), and the coset representatives of the coset decomposition of one group of each type, with respect to its translational subgroup, have been determined(3). International-like tables of the magnetic subperiodic groups are being derived in the same format and content as the International Tables for Crystallography Volume A: Space Groups(4) and Volume E: Subperiodic Groups (5).
