Abstract

In this work we present a full data analysis of polarized neutron reflectometry experiments on a thin magnetic film. A magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the layer magnetization, resulting in non spin-flip and spin-flip reflectivities. For moderate external fields, the gain or loss of Zeeman energy for spin-flipped neutrons results in off-specular reflected spin-flipped beams. The theoretical model used to explain all data simultaneously consists of a bulk cobalt layer, together with interfacial layers with low magnetization values.
