Introductory lectures

Invited talk

Polarized neutrons are an essential tool in the study of magnetic materials at the atomic scale, providing information which in some cases cannot be obtained if only unpolarized neutrons are employed. In this talk I will introduce the different ways in which polarized neutron diffraction can be performed and the corresponding information that can be obtained. I plan to cover the techniques of...

27. Unravelling complex ordering phenomena with polarised x-rays

Introductory lectures

Invited talk

A key feature of the synchrotron light that helps us to unravel the properties of the materials is the ability to generate, control and analyse the polarisation of the photons in a wide energy range [1,2,3]
This feature of the synchrotron beam offers the opportunity to enhance different element of the light-matter cross section and to apply it to a variety of synchrotron-based techniques...
