P. Felcher / Material Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439 / Polarized-neutron^ specular reflectometry (PNR) was developed in the 1980's as a^ means of measuring magnetic depth profiles in flat films. Starting^ from simple profiles, and gradually solving structures of greater complexity,^ PNR has been used to observe or clarify a variety^ of magnetic phenomena. It has been used to measure the^ absolute magnetization of films of thickness not exceeding a few^ atomic planes, the penetration of magnetic fields in micron-thick superconductors,^ and the detailed magnetic coupling across nonmagnetic spacers in multilayers^ and superlattices. The development of new scattering techniques promises to^ enable the characterization of lateral magnetic structures. Retaining the depth^ sensitivity of specular reflectivity, off-specular reflectivity may be brought to^ resolve in-plane structures over nanometer to micron length scales. ©/2000^ American Institute of Physics./ ^ ^ * PII: * S0021-8979(00)15508-2 doi: 10.1063/1.373365 * PACS:* 75.70.-i, 28.20.Cz, 07.90.+c Additional Information View ISI's Web of Science data for this article: [ Source Abstract | Citing Articles | Related Articles ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Full Text: * [ HTML Sectioned HTML PDF (300 kB) GZipped PS ] Order ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References Citation links [e.g.,_ Phys.
