The neutron angle of incidence to the magnet was optimized to achieve a separation of about 10 arcsec between the up- and down-spin neutron peaks [7] and a neutron count rate of about 10/s at each peak position (Fig.
2], and if the critical angle of the total reflection of the angle of incidence is exceeded, then there is a reverse reflection of the IR ray into the optically more dense medium.
* the sample is oscillated [+ or -][delta][omega] about the diffractometer axis so that the angle of incidence on to the specimen varies between [theta] + [delta][omega] and [theta] - [delta][omega].
