Abstract

The depolarization of epithermal neutrons in a thick single crystal of ferromagnetic holmium has been measured and analyzed with a model of neutron precession through a highly correlated array of magnetic domains. The large parity violation in the 0.734-eV p-wave resonance in $^{139}\mathrm{La}$ was used to analyze the neutron polarization, and represents an application of parity violation in nuclear resonances to a measurement in condensed-matter physics.
