Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Experiment
3. Results and Discussion
III = I1↑+ I2↓,
IIII = I1↓+ I2↓.
I1↓ = I0 Cos2(β − φ1) = I0 [(Cos(β) Cos(φ1) + Sin(β) Sin(φ1)]2,
I2↑ = I0 Cos2(β + φ2) = I0 [(Cos(β) Cos(φ2) − Sin(β) Sin(φ2)]2,
I2↓ = I0 Cos2(β − φ2) = I0 [(Cos(β) Cos(φ2) + Sin(β) Sin(φ2)]2,
IIII − III = I0 Sin(2β) Sin(2φ1) ≈ D 2φ1,
