  2. Magnetic neutron wave guides for neutron optical devices • ILL Annual Report • F. Pfeiffer, V. Leiner, P. Høghøj, I. Anderson Optical index Soft magnetic layer Guiding layer (with low optical index) Pinned magnetic layer substrate

  3. Combination : dynamics and wave-guides • Magnetic traps Allows the neutron beam to freely enter the guide Acts like a guide

  4. Samples • Sputtering setup in LLB, Saclay, France Py(10-20nm)/Ti70/Py50/float_glass 25×30×2 mm3 Py20nm/Al(20-80)/Py50/float_glass 55×55×2 mm3

  5. Simulation of neutron wave function • SimulReflec available at http://www-llb.cea.fr/prism/programs/simulreflec/simulreflec.html F. OTT (LLB) Mode 3 Mode 2 Mode 2 Mode 1 Mode 1

  8. Guiding effect in off-specular relection

  9. Off-specular reflection (HADAS, FZJ) =4.7 Å

  10. Off-specular reflection fitting ++ +-

  11. Off-specular fitting Program for fitting HADAS data (E. Kentzinger, FZJ, Juelich) Parameters:  - angle between vectors of external magnetic field and magnetization  - dispersion of magnetization direction // - structural in-plane correlation length  - perpendicular correlation length  - roughness d – domain size M – magnitude of magnetization

  12. X-rays off-specular reflection Py20Ti70Py50nm/FG =1.57 Å

  13. PRISM -scan • PRISM, =0.42 nm

  14. PRISM -scan

  15. PRISM, detector scan

  16. PRISM, detector scan

  17. Different representation off-specular EROS TOF

  20. Working plan in 2006 • Treatment of experimental data (X-rays specular and off-specular reflection, REFLEX, EROS, PRISM reflectometers) • Preparing of experiment on guiding effect in new samples with Al guiding layer (September 2006, REFLEX, Dubna, Russia) • Publication of methodical paper on different representation of off-specular neutron scattering • Preparing of paper on off-specular reflection experiments

  21. Conclusions • Wave guiding effect at off-specular reflection have been measured in magnetic and non-magnetic samples • It is necessary to modify models for fitting experimental data • There are experimental difficulties for observation of guiding effect from the exit of film: small value of effect, wide angular distribution of guided intensity, influence of resolution and background • New samples with Al guiding layer have been manufactured
