Neutron Laue Diffraction in Pulsed High Magnetic Fields

Abstract

Recent results on neutron Laue diffraction in pulsed high magnetic fields are presented. The advantage of using a pulsed magnet is briefly discussed. A comparison is made between the reactor and the pulsed neutron sources. A magnetic field generator, cryostat insert and data acquisition scheme are introduced and the importance of the compactness is presented. The result on multi-ferroic compound MnWO₄ is described and finally future prospection is discussed.
