Abstract

A new method to detect polarization pick-up by ions emerging from thin polarized ferromagnetic layers has been tested. The applied technique consists in the observation of attenuatedγ-angular correlations and atomic spin precessions for single-electron ions recoiling through vacuum in weak transverse magnetic fields. The Coulomb-excited19F(5/2+) state at 197 keV was used as probe. The experimental concept is described and the expected effects are discussed using the perturbed angular correlation formalism for polarized hyperfine interactions.
