Visualization and quantification of inhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetic fields by polarized neutron grating interferometry

The magnetic field imaging on microscopic scale is of great importance to fundamental research as well industrial applications. Here the authors show the capability to visualize and characterize the magnetic properties with 100-micrometer resolution in macroscopic samples using a cold polarized neut...
