EPJ B – Longitudinal polarization analysis, SANS souci

Details: Published on 01 October 2010

Ground breaking experiments in EPJ B by D. Honecker and colleagues on an FeCr two-phase nanocrystalline alloy demonstrate the power of one-dimensional neutron-spin analysis in a small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiment.

With this method it becomes possible to measure partial correlation functions, and observe several novel anisotropies and asymmetries in the magnetic scattering cross section. The authors measure the scattering intensities that connect two neutron-spin states in FeCr two-phase nanocrystalline alloy and, through the analysis of the spin-flip data, they obtain the (isotropic) longitudinal correlation function and the transversal contributions of the magnetization. This technique opens up the unique possibility for analyzing independently the three vector components of the bulk magnetization, and has the potential to push forward our understanding of magnetic interactions in nanostructures.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.

On behalf of the Organizing and Program Committees and Editorial Team of MNPS-2019, Dr. Alexey B. Nadykto, Moscow State Technological University “STANKIN”, Moscow, Russia. EPJ Web of Conferences vol. 224 (2019)
