Abstract

The first measurements of magnetic correlation functions are presented using time-of-flight Spin-echo modulated small angle neutron scattering (SEMSANS) on the Larmor instrument at the ISIS pulsed neutron source. The accessible length scale is beyond that of the conventional SANS. A simplified model is presented to calculate the expected correlation functions for various magnetisation fields applied to the sample. As an example, we present the experimental data of a soft iron sample at various configurations of magnetisation field.
