Neutron Depolarization Studies on Magnetization Process Using Pulsed Polarized Neutrons

Abstract

Neutron depolarization experiments investigating the magnetization processes have been performed by using pulsed polarized neutrons for the first time. Results on both quenched and annealed ferromagnets of Fe₈₅Cr₁₅ alloy indicate the significant difference in the wavelength dependence of depolarization between them. It also constitutes the experimental demonstration of the theoretical prediction of Halpern and Holstein.
