Abstract :
The properties of neutron optical devices consisting of a repetition of macroscopic substrates with a top reflecting layer (‘venetian blinds’) are discussed. The reflection and transmission of such a system are calculated analytically taking into account multiple scattering events. It is shown that these devices exhibit total neutron reflection at certain conditions of incoming beam angle and wavelength. Possible applications are discussed.
