“…Neutron magnetic imaging is another possible application of the device, in which transmission images reveal regions of different magnetic field distributions. 37 Our device is designed with a zero field sample chamber, which removes the need for a magnetic guide field at the sample when imaging using polarized neutron. On the other hand, in our present device, the sample temperature cannot be independently controlled, which restricts the range of sample temperatures to be between 20 K and approximately 80 K.…”

We describe a simple, compact device for spherical neutron polarimetry measurements at small neutron scattering angles. The device consists of a sample chamber with very low (<0.01 G) magnetic field flanked by regions within which the neutron polarization can be manipulated in a controlled manner. This allows any selected initial and final polarization direction of the neutrons to be obtained. We have constructed a prototype device using high-Tc superconducting films and mu-metal to isolate regions with different magnetic fields and tested device performance in transmission geometry. Finite-element methods were used to simulate the device’s field profile and these have been verified by experiment using a small solenoid as a test sample. Measurements are reported using both monochromatic and polychromatic neutron sources. The results show that the device is capable of extracting sample information and distinguishing small angular variations of the sample magnetic field. As a more realistic test, we present results on the characterization of a 10 μm thick Permalloy film in zero magnetic field, as well as its response to an external magnetic field.

“…The neutron energy-dependent imaging techniques of Bragg-edge [8], resonance absorption [9] and magnetic imaging [10] are available by utilizing a short-pulse neutron source in addition to the conventional neutron radiography. Here we show a demonstration result of the resonance absorption imaging.…”

Hokkaido University neutron source, HUNS was completed in 1973, and has been used actively for developments of moderators, neutron instruments, neutron devices and new methods for 40 years although its power is not so high. Recently, a pulsed neutron imaging method has been developed and a new type of small angle neutron scattering method has been also developed. The pulsed neutron imaging is a unique method that can give the physical quantities such as crystallographic quantities of materials over wide area of the real space. So far, the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is considered to be impossible at a neutron source with a power of HUNS. However, mini focusing SANS (mfSANS) was developed and proved to be useful. Here, we present the present activities on the pulsed neutron imaging and mfSANS at HUNS.
