Fig. 2: Polarized neutron reflectivity before and after hydrogen absorption.

a as-prepared sample and b fully hydrogenated sample. The data were taken at the NREX reflectometer at room temperature in a magnetic field of 5 Oe perpendicular to the scattering plane. The dashed lines mark the position of the waveguide resonance in the spin-flip channels, Qres. The solid lines are the results of fits described in the text. The inset shows the corresponding nuclear and magnetic scattering length profiles. Error bars indicate the statistical error.
