High-pressure geophysics and materials

A new neutron reflectometer SHARAKU with vertical sample-plane geometry was installed on the beam line 17 (BL17) at Materials and Life science experiment Facility (MLF) at J-PARC. Magnetism in a thin magnetic film is one of the main targets on SHARAKU and polarizing devices and neutron spin flippers are required. Since polarized neutrons of wavelength from 0.24 nm to 0.64 nm can be used on SHARAKU, a neutron spin flipper has to control white neutron beam. A two-coil neutron spin flipper (Drabkin spin flipper) is one of the powerful devices to control neutron spin with white beam. In this study, the two-coil flipper was designed and installed in SHARAKU. Demonstration of the two-coil flipper was also performed and polarization of more than 0.95 with wavelengths ranging from 0.24 nm to 0.64 nm was obtained.
