Abstract

Specular and off-specular neutron intensities were measured at grazing incidence from an optical grating. The periodicity of the grating was determined from the locations of the intensity peaks in the off-specular data. An analysis of the widths of the off-specular intensity peaks showed that the effect of the coherence length of the neutron beam on the determination of a surface length scale of approximately 30 μm was negligible when compared to that of the instrument resolution.
