摘要
We report the development of a compact turn-key module that boosts the resolution in quasielastic neutron scattering by several orders of magnitude down to the low sub-micro-eV range. It is based on a pair of neutron resonance spin flippers that generate a well defined temporal intensity modulation, also known as Modulation of IntEnsity by Zero Effort (MIEZE). The module may be used under versatile conditions, in particular, in applied magnetic fields and for depolarizing and incoherently scattering samples. We demonstrate the power of MIEZE in studies of the helimagnetic order in MnSi under applied magnetic fields. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3556558]
