摘要：

We demonstrate that polarised neutron reflection (PNR) sensitively probes the in-plane layer-dependent magnetisation vector profile in multilayer structures on nanometre lengthscales. We derive the spin-dependent reflectivity using an optical method for a general multilayer, and discuss two regimes: first, the kinematical diffraction limit; second, just above critical reflection, where multiple reflections and refraction dominate.
