Polarisation/Magnetic Scattering
Magnetic scattering is implemented in five (2D) models
- sphere
- core_shell_sphere
- core_multi_shell
- cylinder
- parallelepiped
In general, the scattering length density (SLD, = |beta|) in each region where the SLD is uniform, is a combination of the nuclear and magnetic SLDs and, for polarised neutrons, also depends on the spin states of the neutrons.
For magnetic scattering, only the magnetization component, Mperp, perpendicular to the scattering vector Q contributes to the the magnetic scattering length.
The magnetic scattering length density is then
where |gamma| = -1.913 is the gyromagnetic ratio, |mu|B is the Bohr magneton, r0 is the classical radius of electron, and |sigma| is the Pauli spin.
Assuming that incident neutrons are polarized parallel (+) and anti-parallel (-) to the x' axis, the possible spin states after the sample are then
No spin-flips (+ +) and (- -)
Spin-flips (+ -) and (- +)
If the angles of the Q vector and the spin-axis (x') to the x-axis are |phi| and |theta|up, respectively, then, depending on the spin state of the neutrons, the scattering length densities, including the nuclear scattering length density (|beta|N) are
when there are no spin-flips, and
when there are, and
Here, M0x, M0y and M0z are the x, y and z components of the magnetization vector given in the laboratory xyz frame given by
and the magnetization angles |theta|M and |phi|M are defined in the figure above.
The user input parameters are:
M0_sld | = DM M0 |
Up_theta | = |theta|up |
M_theta | = |theta|M |
M_phi | = |phi|M |
Up_frac_i | = (spin up)/(spin up + spin down) neutrons before the sample |
Up_frac_f | = (spin up)/(spin up + spin down) neutrons after the sample |
Note: The values of the 'Up_frac_i' and 'Up_frac_f' must be in the range 0 to 1.
