摘要:
A polarized neutron guide for separating neutrons into polarized neutrons while minimizing loss of the neutrons is provided. The polarized neutron guide includes a body, the first space and the second space, and a neutron separation space. The body includes super mirrors coated with a neutron-reflective thin film and the first and second spaces are formed by the first plate inside the body. The neutron separation space is formed by the second plate disposed at the entry of the first space and the third plate disposed at the entry of the second space. Spin-up polarized neutrons and spin-down polarized neutrons are simultaneously separated and transferred in the first and second spaces, respectively. Therefore, with minimum loss of the neutrons, the spin-up polarized neutrons and the spin-down polarized neutrons are effectively separated and collected.

A method for fabricating a supermirror for forming a neutron guide. In the method, a neutron supermirror, which is widely used in the formation of thin films in cold neutron guides and the spectrometer field, is fabricated with nickel thin films and titanium thin films, having varying thickness, using a combination of monochromator structures in which nickel thin films and titanium thin films, having the same thickness, are stacked in the form of periodic structures. According to the method, a combination of monochromator structures having a variety of different thicknesses is formed, such that the amount of the overlap of peaks due to the monochromator structures can be adjusted to increase reflectivity, and some of the monochromator structures can be removed during the fabrication of the supermirror to make it easy to extract monochromatic beams, such that it is easy to fabricate a transmission monochromator, rather than a reflection monochromator.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for generating a parallel beam with a high flux. The apparatus of the present invention includes a light source, a first mirror and a second mirror. The light source is positioned at a first focal point of a first ellipse. The first mirror is positioned on the first ellipse to reflect a beam emitted by the light source, and concavely shaped to conform to a section of the first ellipse. The second mirror is positioned across a path of the beam reflected by the first mirror, and convexly shaped to conform to a section of a second ellipse so that an angle formed by two tangent lines passing through each pair of incident points of neighboring rays incident upon the second mirror, respectively, is half of an angle formed by two tangent lines passing through each pair of incident points of neighboring rays incident upon the first mirror, respectively.
