Uniaxial polarization analysis of bulk ferromagnets: Theory and first experimental Results

Abstract

Based on Brown's static equations of micromagnetics, we compute the uniaxial polarization of the scattered neutron beam of a bulk magnetic material. The theoretical expressions are compared to experimental data on a soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloy. The micromagnetic SANS theory provides a general framework for polarized real-space neutron methods, and it opens up a new avenue for magnetic neutron data analysis on magnetic microstructures.
