Abstract
Polarized neutrons reflected from the surface of a ferromagnet are sensitive to the magnetization close to the surface as well as to the bulk magnetization. In a calculation using parameters appropriate to nickel it is shown how the two contributions can be separated. Neutron measurements can determine the first moment of the magnetic disturbances at the surface, with a sensitivity corresponding to one magnetic dead layer.Keywords
