abstract = {The ability to produce intensive neutron beams with
energies above 100 meV (called also hot neutrons) for the
condensed matter investigations, is a unique feature of the
reactor sources. Hot neutrons are very important for the
accurate structure determination in the materials where
other diffraction techniques are less sensitive e.g X rays
for the compounds containing light atoms like O, N, H, or
e.g. thermal neutrons strongly absorbed by the rear-earth
elements. On the other side the study of the hydrogen bonds
and magnetic properties of the rear-earth compounds is of
the tremendous importance in the actual condensed matter
physics both from the fundamental and applied point of view.
FRM II reactor in Garching is only one of the very few
worldwide which has a secondary source for producing hot
neutrons. In the last years the single crystal
diffractometer HEiDi operated by RWTH Aachen was only
instrument using the beam of the hot source at FRM II. The
high user demand for this beam line is reflecting in the
fact that HEiDi has the highest overbooking factor (> 3.5)
of the all MLZ Instruments. In order to increase the
scientific output from this unique facility, the proposal on
building a second instrument on the hot source has been
accepted. POLI as an abbreviation from Polarisation
Investigator is a new versatile single crystal
diffractometer at the hot souse of FRM II reactor in
Garching, realized by RWTH Aachen University under the
“Verbundforschungsprojekt” of BMBF in 2010-2013.
Recently, in January 2014, first neutron beam measurements
and test scattering experiment have been successfully
performed on new POLI beam line. An independent operation of
the two diffractometers POLI and HEiDi at the hot source FRM
II become possible. POLI is mostly dedicated to the
investigation in the field of magnetism, but not only. The
separation of the polarization from the neutron optic
allowed both polarized and non-polarized neutron diffraction
experiments with variable wavelength, from hot to thermal.
Two different single crystal polarized neutron diffraction
techniques namely spherical neutron polarimetry and
flipping-ratio measurements will be used on the new
instrument. 3He spin filters are employed as a polarization
technique. The concept of the instrument, its design and the
applied experimental techniques will be discussed. First
results of the test experiment on the new beam line as well
those of the spherical neutron polarimetry using last
generation polarization analysis device Cryopad will be
presented.},
