Anisotropic Band-Split Magnetism in Magnetostrictive CoFe2O4

Single crystal spinel CoFe₂O₄ exhibits the largest room-temperature saturation magnetostriction among non-rare-earth compounds and a high Curie temperature (T₍c₎ ∼ 780 K), properties that are critical to a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Neutron spectroscopy  ...

Operando neutron imaging of an alkaline electrolysis cell for mapping gas distributions

Optimizing hydrogen and oxygen transport within porous electrodes is essential for improving the efficiency of industrial alkaline electrolyzers. In this study, we utilize operando dynamic neutron radiographic measurements to investigate  ...

Spin-Disorder-Induced Angular Anisotropy in Polarized Magnetic Neutron Scattering

We experimentally report a hitherto unseen angular anisotropy in the polarized small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) cross section of a magnetically strongly inhomogeneous material  ...
