Abstract

Polarized Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a powerful tool for studying mesoscale magnetic structures. In a recent development at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a polarized neutron beam has been implemented for the CG-2 (GP-SANS) beamline at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). Three major components were developed to provide the polarized neutron capability: a transmission supermirror neutron polarizer, an adiabatic fast passage neutron spin flipper and a polarized 3He filter as neutron spin analyzer. The new polarized beam SANS capability was used to investigate several magnetic samples having mesoscale structures.
