Abstract
We have utilized both neutron transmission and neutron diffraction to measure the spin polarization in a single crystal of 109Ag, whereby the nuclear spin temperature could be obtained. Transmission of a polarized neutron beam provides an accurate and convenient primary thermometer. The feasibility of unpolarized neutron transmission was demonstrated as well.
The diffraction measurements were strongly influenced by extinction, whence this method had to be calibrated against another thermometer. In this way we obtained information about extinction in the crystal.
