We describe two spin-echo instruments for neutron small angle scattering, which have been installed at the reactor institute in Delft. The first setup is using a monochromatic beam and magnetized foils as spin flippers, while the second uses resonant spin flippers in a pulsed neutron beam. The components that play an essential role for operation are described in some detail. Each setup has specific advantages in its range of spin-echo lengths that covers the range of correlation lengths that could be measured. This is demonstrated in a comparative measurement, the setup with magnetized foils measuring at spin-echo-lengths up to 20 μm and the setup with resonant flippers measuring in the range up to 0.5 μm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
