Abstract
A single line circularly polarised source with a degree of polarisatio n equal to (80+/-2)% was constructed. The source can be used as an ext remely useful tool for a quick, unique and simple determination of the sign of hyperfine field. Test measurements on alpha-Fe demonstrate th at the sign of hyperfine magnetic field follows changes of the sign of an external magnetizing field. The hyperfine magnetic field observed in HoFe2 in which Fe magnetic moments are oriented antiparallel to the total magnetisation, is shown. The excellent performance of the sourc e opens up new possibilities of studying materials with inhomogeneous magnetisation distribution.
