Abstract

Polarized neutron reflectometry calculations for a non-magnetic bilayer on top of a substrate with a thin magnetic film are performed to investigate the sensitivity of spin-flipped neutrons to changes in Γ(z). Non-polarized reflectivity curves show little response to small variations of Γ(z). Although non-spin-flipped curves are similar to the case without polarization analysis, spin-flipped reflectivities show much larger sensitivity to small changes in Γ(z). Calculations for the same system with a different second non-magnetic layer thickness again show large sensitivity. Both peak position and peak intensity change dramatically when model parameters are changed.
