Abstract
The strong interaction between neutron and electron spins has long made neutron scattering, and especially polarized neutron scattering, a privileged method in the study of magnetic phenomena. The use of polarized neutrons, however, was conventionally limited to polarization directions parallel to the magnetic field, thus only keeping track of a scalar projection of a vector phenomenon. In recent years, however, at several lboratories, various techniques have been developed to fully exploit the vector character of neutron polarization. These new vector polarization techniques lend themselves especially favourably to the study of domain structure and spontaneous magnetization in ferromagnets and of complex (non-collinear non-centro-symmetrical) magnetic structures.
