Abstract
Polarized neutron reflectometry is an experimental method for studying metallic thin heterophase layered materials, polymer films, biological systems, the free surfaces of liquids, and magnetic fluids. It requires experimental equipment that includes a special magnetic system. The magnetic system described in this work, a vector magnet, will allow one to change the direction of the magnetic field in three directions, to place a temperature-control device inside at low and ultra-low temperatures, and will have an aperture that allows one to place a system for detecting neutrons and gamma rays outside. According to calculations, the cryomagnet will allow the application of a maximum field in the vertical plane of up to 3 T, and in the horizontal plane of up to 1 T. To manufacture a vector magnet, in this work, it is proposed to use a tape made of a high-temperature superconductor with a width of 4 mm. A cryostat with a vector magnet will be installed at the REMUR reflectometer on the eighth channel of the IBR-2 reactor.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
