abstract = {Polarized neutron diffraction (PND) is a powerful method to
investigate magnetic structures. PND can be used for very
precise magnetization measurements even for weak magnetic
contributions. It allows the high-quality determination of
magnetic form factors, to untangle complex (e.g. chiral)
magnetic structures, and to follow the movement of magnetic
domains. By conserving the phase relation between the
nuclear and magnetic structure, this technique is also a
valuable tool to investigate the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya
interaction (DMI) [1], which is an important driving force
in many magnetic materials including weak ferromagnets.Using
the Flipping Ratio (FR) setup [2] of POLI [3] at MLZ, the
magnetic structures of two prototypical weak ferromagnets,
hematite (α-Fe2O3) and rhodochrosite (MnCO3), have been
studied in detail as function of the applied magnetic field
and temperature. This allowed us to determine the magnetic
susceptibility tensor and, for the first time with neutrons,
the absolute sign of the DMI in both compounds. Moreover,
due to the large q-range access of POLI, we were able to
reconstruct field induced magnetization density distribution
maps by using the maximum entropy method.[1] V. E.
