Abstract
Guided propagation of neutrons in thin films was directly observed in a TiO2/Ti/Si waveguide by exciting one of its discrete guided modes fr om an external neutron beam. The condition found experimentally for ex citing this particular mode agrees well with theory. The measured inte nsity of the guided neutrons was also in good agreement with a calcula tion based on a previous coupling theory.
