Neutron Scattering in Magnetic Fields up to 17 T
Abstract
Neutron scattering in magnetic fields can provide important information regarding the magnetism of a system under study on microcsopic scale. Although pulse magnets are capable to reach very high fields, for neutron scattering mostly superconducting magnets are used. At present, a split-pair 14.5 T superconducting magnet used for user-program experiments at HMI offers the highest magnetic field for neutron scattering. With Dy-pole tips placed symmetrically around the sample position a 2.5 T enhancement is achieved. The temperature range accessible with such an insert is between 1.8 and 100 K. Temperatures down to 30 mK can be achieved with a dilution stick, which can be inserted into the 14.5 T cryomagnet. In the contribution we report on the latest neutron scattering achievements in magnetic fields obtained at HMI.
