Abstract: | The scattering of polarized neutrons from magnetized samples is considered in the general case of arbitrary orientation between the incident polarization, the magnetic field of the sample and the polarization of the scattered neutrons. Including both nuclear and magnetic scattering the general expressions for the cross section and the polarization of the scattered beam are derived in the case of small-angle scattering. It is shown that under certain experimental conditions an effect analogous to the Neutron Spin Echo should be observed, which could be used to measure small energy transfers. The contribution arising from the scattering by spin waves is examined in detail. |
