The influence of a high-frequency magnetic field on the neutron diffraction by perfect crystals

Measurements of the influence of a high-frequency magnetic field on the neutron diffraction by perfect monocrystals of InSb were performed at a frequency of 25 MHz. The ratios of the integrated reflectivities with and without a magnetic field as a function of the output voltage from the amplifier are shown for different parts of the crystal. The time dependence of the integrated reflectivity after switching on and off the high-frequency field is given. Results may be interpreted on the basis of the dynamical theory of diffraction on elastically deformed crystals (caused by the temperature gradient). Similar phenomena were observed also with a perfect Si monocrystal
