Abstract

A comparison has been made between natural muscovite mica and synthetic fluor-phlogopite mica with regard to their usefulness as neutron monochromators. It has been found that a synthetic mica monochromator reflects a neutron beam which is from 2 to 6 times more intense than that from a natural mica monochromator, while requiring no appreciable sacrifice in resolution. The interplanar spacing of the synthetic material was found to be 9.963 A, which is slightly larger than that of the natural mineral.
