Spin waves are propagating disturbances in magnetically ordered materials, analogous to lattice waves in solid systems and are often described from a quasiparticle point of view as magnons. The attractive advantages of Joule-heat-free…

For ultracold neutrons with a kinetic energy below 10 neV, strong scattering, characterized by $2\pi l_{c} / \lambda\leq 1$, can be obtained in metamaterials of C and $^7$Li. Here $l_{c}$ and $\lambda$ are the coherent scattering mean free…

Coherent conversion of photons to magnons, and back, provides a natural mechanism for rapid control of interactions between stationary spins with long coherence times and high-speed photons. Despite the large frequency difference between…
We propose a new method to form very cold neutron (VCN) beams collimated and monochromatic without usual losses of flux by three or more orders in magnitude due to narrow line cutting from energy and angular spectra. To this purpose…
