7. At first glance an antiferromagnetic artificial superlattice of Fe/Cr (cf. C. Majkrzak, Physica B 221 (1996) 342) seemed to provide a practical analyzer. When set at an angle corresponding the first antiferromagnetic Bragg reflection, practically only spin-flipped neutrons are reflected. However, the diffraction angle is too large to provide sufficient separation of the beams.
