abstract = {Polarized neutron diffraction (PND) is a powerful method
which provides direct access to the scattering con-tribution
from nuclear-magnetic interference and thus reveals the
phase difference between the nuclear andmagnetic structure.
This technique can be utilized to gain a detailed insight in
the microscopic spin orderingat the unit cell level even for
complex magnetic structures. Since magnetic domains
correspond to an overallphase shift between the nuclear and
magnetic structure, PND also allows to resolve different
magnetic domainconfigurations providing additional
information at the mesoscopic scale. This qualifies PND as a
versatile toolto simultaneously address a wide range of
scientific issues. By conducting a detailed PND study of the
proto-typical room-temperature weak ferromagnet α-Fe2O3
(hematite) we could solve the long standing problem
ofinconsistent asymmetry signs observed within Friedel pairs
in hematite. Moreover, using a detailed symme-try analysis
the absolute direction of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
interaction (DMI) vector in α-Fe2O3 could bedetermined for
the first time. This study is supported by a detailed
refinement of the slightly canted magneticstructure and by
numerical calculations. It can be used as a reference for
further DMI sign determinations,reducing the experimental
efforts to the measurement of one representative reflection,
making it well suitedfor highly topical materials often
requiring extreme sample environment},
