Polarizing neutron monochromators were prepared by sputtering thin-film multilayers with d-spacings from 40 to 85A on large float-glass substrates. Peak reflectivities as great as 90% and polarizing efficiencies of 98% were measured. Increased angular acceptances were obtained by fabricating multilayers with multiple d- spacings. A planned polarized beam spectrometer which incorporates the multilayers and which has a variable energy resolution independent of angular beam divergence is described.
