NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION FROM CORRELATED UNCORRELATED MAGNETIC MULTILAYERS/

We report stochastic diffraction simulations of magnetic multilayered systems. Results show that spectrum fringes from a system of many magn etic domains is a non-random effect -i.e., such fringes cannot occur i n the total absence of interlayer spill correlations. Simulation of di ffraction spectra from superlattices with interlayer coupling probabil ity 0 < p < 1 (an analogy of short-range ordering in magnetic crystals ) is also performed.
