چکیده
The production of polarized neutrons in magnetized iron has been studied, using the intense neutron beams available at the Argonne heavy water pile. The theoretical vrork of Halpern et al. , used as a guide in the experiments, has been checked in many respects, with the exception that the polarization cross section p has a measured value of 3.15 barns compared to the theoretical 1 barn. The application of neutron polarization to the measurement of the approach to saturation in ferromagnets is described and preliminary results are reported.

Polarization of Thermal X-rays from Isolated Neutron Stars
Since the opacity of a magnetized plasma depends on polarization of radiation, the radiation emergent from atmospheres of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields is expected to be strongly polarized. The degree of linear polarization, typically ∼ 10− 30%, depends on photon energy, effective temperature and magnetic field. The spectrum of polarization is more sensitive to the magnetic field th...

In the past decades, neutron reflectometry have flourished as an applicable method to the study of thin films. As an example, the type and thickness of an unknown thin film which is mounted on top of a magnetic substratum could be determined by measuring the intensity and polarization of the reflected neutrons from the sample. Neutron reflectometry is based on solving the one dimentional schröd...

متن کاملMagnetospheric Birefringence Induces Polarization Signatures in Neutron-Star Spectra
We study the propagation of polarization light through the magnetosphere of neutron stars. At intermediate frequencies (the optical through the infrared), both the birefringence induced by the plasma and by quantumelectrodynamics influence the observation polarization of radiation from the surface of the neutron star. Because these two processes compete in this regime, we find that polarization...
متن کاملDetection of Multilayer Nano Structures by One Directional Polarization Analysis in Neutron Reflectometry
Submitted: Jul 16, 2013; Accepted: Aug 25, 2013; Published: Aug 29, 2013 Abstract: Due to the sensibility of neutron spin to the intrinsic magnetic field of magnetic materials, polarized neutron reflectometry is widely used in investigation of magnetic properties of nano-structures. Type and thickness of a multilayer can precisely be determined by measuring the polarization of reflected neutron...
