Abstract: The angular distributions of the intensities of polarized neutrons scattered by 25-$\mu$m-thick foils of the Fe$_{51}$Co$_{46}$V$_{2.5}$Mn$_{0.5}$ alloy have been measured on the setup Vector (WWR-M reactor, Gatchina) at various angles between sample planes and the direction of the primary neutron beam. Magnetic fields from 7 Oe to 7.4 kOe have been applied along the vertical and horizontal axes. The main reason of the “asymmetric” scattering has been shown to be changes in the Zeeman neutron energy upon their spin-flip. Unique possibilities of the method of investigation described have been discussed.
