MAGIK Reflectometer
The MAGIK reflectometer complements the Polarized Beam Reflectometer and the Horizontal-Geometry Reflectometer in providing specialized capabilities for measurements of in-plane scattering in addition to world-class depth-profiling (with specular reflectivity) of biological,battery/electrochemical, polymer, and magnetic thin films. A Horizontal Sample Mode has recently been added, enabling neutron reflectometry of liquid/gas interfaces.
Polarized-beam measurements are possible with the use of a 3He analyzer.
This instrument is an evolution of the AND/R reflectometer, which was located on the NG-1 guide. MAGIK is located along the NG-D guide in the expanded guide hall (part of the NCNR's Expansion Initiative).
