Lecture 6 : Neutron diffraction

Magnetic scattering from GdCu2:

Figure 6.04 depicts the typical arrangement of atoms in lattice and the moments to form different magnetic states.

Figure 6.05: Neutron diffraction of GdCu2 data obtained at two different temperatures.

Figure 6.05 shows the neutron diffraction data obtained at two different temperatures. This clearly reveals development of additional peaks at low temperature [Martin Rotter, University of Oxford].
