abstract = {The magnetic neutron reflectometer with high incident angle
(MARIA) at the Heinz Maier- Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in
Garching, Germany is a dedicated instrument for polarized
neutron reflectometry of thin films [1]. However, due to
limited space a UHV system for thin film growth and in-situ
measurements cannot be placed on-site.Recently, we have
solved this problem by developing a handy mini UHV chamber
which is capable for both, sample transfer and quasi in-situ
measurements at the neutron reflectivity instrument,
respectively. Quasi in-situ polarized neutron reflectivity
(PNR) measurements can be performed at room temperature in
magnetic fields of up to 600 mT. Our solution consists of a
DN CF-40 cube with two opposing sapphire windows for the
neutron beam, a combined non evaporable getter and ion pump
for keeping the vacuum, a wobble stick, which is needed for
in-situ sample transfer and also serves as sample holder for
samples of up to 1 cm2 and a valve for sample exchange by
mounting the chamber on the MBE system. The pressure in the
transfer chamber is kept in the 10−10 mbar range during
transport and PNR measurement.We present the first polarized
neutron reflectivity measurements on a 2 nm Co thin film
which was grown in our MBE setup and measured afterwards at
MARIA at room temperature in a magnetic field of 300 mT in
the Q-range up to 0.2 Å-1. The data evaluation clearly
shows no oxidation of the Co film. So, samples which are
delicate to handle in ambient conditions can be successfully
measured using our handy UHV chamber.Booking of the access
to the MBE system as well as the transport chamber for
measuring is possible via the MLZ user office system and the
nanoscience foundry and fine analysis project (NFFA,
www.nffa.eu) in combination with an application for a beam
time at the neutron instrument MARIA.This project is part
