D17
Neutron reflectometer with horizontal scattering geometry
Magnetic domains and off-specular scattering
D17 in TOF-polarised mode is well-adapted for measurements of magnetic samples.
The wide angle coverage of the multidetector allows the detection of magnetic off-specular scattering simultaneously to the specular reflectivity.
In this example, the magnetic scattering from a 5 μm domain pattern in head-to-head configuration was investigated to resolve details of the domain structure and internal magnetizations.
