The nature of near-surface spin canting within Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles is highly debated. Here we develop a neutron scattering asymmetry analysis which quantifies the spin canting angle to between 23° and 42° at 1.2 T. Simultaneously, an energy-balance model

3 He Spin Filter Based Polarized Neutron Capability at the NIST Center for Neutron Research

WangChun Chen, Thomas R. Gentile, Ross W. Erwin, Shannon Watson, Qiang NMN Ye, Kathryn L. Krycka, Brian B. Maranville
A 3He neutron spin filter (NSF) program for polarized neutron scattering was launched in 2006 as part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) Expansion Initiative. The goal of the project was to

Phase-Sensitive Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

Charles F. Majkrzak, Kathryn L. Krycka, Susan Krueger, Norman F. Berk, Paul A. Kienzle, Brian B. Maranville
A method is described for determining the neutron scattering length density distribution of a molecular scale object directly from phase-sensitive small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The structure factor amplitude is obtained through the use of a

Polarization-Analyzed Small-Angle Neutron Scattering. II. Mathematical Angular Analysis

June 1, 2012
Author(s)
Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie A. Borchers, Yumi Ijiri, Ryan Booth, Sara Majetich
SANS with longitudinal polarization analysis is a powerful technique to study magnetic morphology and domain interactions with directional sensitivity on the nancoscale. Here, by explicitly isolating the various nuclear-magnetic and magnetic-magnetic

Nanometer Size Magnetic Domains and Coherent Magnetization Reversal in a Giant Exchange Bias System

August 23, 2011
Author(s)
C. Dufour, M .R. Fitzsimmons, Julie Borchers, M. Laver, Kathryn L. Krycka, K. Dumesnil, Shannon M. Watson, Wangchun Chen, S. Singh
We present compelling evidence obtained with small angle scattering of unpolarized and polarized neutron beams the magnetization reversal occurs via formation of 10-100's nm sized magnetic domains in an exchanged biased DyFe 2/YFed2^ superlattice. The
