Yp. Feng et al., DIRECT OBSERVATION OF NEUTRON-GUIDED WAVES IN A THIN-FILM WAVE-GUIDE, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 49(15), 1994, pp. 10814-10817
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.
