Abstract
Magnetic materials are all around us, in applications ranging from hard drives and loudspeakers to electric vehicles and wind power plants. Neutron scattering enables structural and dynamical studies of materials and their magnetic properties. In this lecture, I will give an overview of magnetic neutron scattering focusing on diffraction techniques. The neutron, an uncharged particle with a magnetic moment, interacts uniquely with matter enabling structural characterisations through diffraction. I will, in this lecture, present the opportunities provided by magnetic neutron scattering and give relevant examples.
The lecture is an obligatory teaching test for those applying for admittance as docent and it should be possible for students and others with basic academic education in the relevant field to follow it. The lecture lasts 40-45 minutes with subsequent discussion. The lecture will be given in Swedish.
Welcome!
