Studies of the Optics of Neutrons. IV. Magnetic Saturation and Neutron Depolarization
Abstract
It is suggested that the magnetic saturation of ferromagnets should be studied by a slight modification of the previously used method. Instead of measuring the retardation of the single transmission effect in incompletely saturated ferromagnets as a function of the magnetizing field, it is recommended to study the depolarization of a totally polarized beam passing through a ferromagnet. This study would be carried out by a measurement of the polarization of the transmitted beam and no longer by an intensity measurement.
