Polarized neutron reflection: Revealing spin structures in nanostructured layers

摘要: Abstract The reflection of neutrons at planar surfaces dates back to the mid–1940s when Fermi and Zinn [1] later Marshall [2] determined sign average coherent scattering length bcoA by reflecting a beam thermal off number flat metal surfaces. Similar experiments were performed Compton for determination X–ray refractive index [3]. Later, total cold was used guiding them through curved tubes experimental stations far distances from their source [4]. Finally, ultra–cold bottled up via measuring life time [5].
