Abstract: The LLB is part of a large project aiming at the development of experimental tools available for the spintronics community. This includes the design and construction of vector magnets for neutron and X-ray scattering (deployed on the Léon Brillouin-Orphée and Synchrotron SOLEIL TGIRs: neutron diffractometer 6T2 and XMRS Sextants). For neutron scattering, a very innovative design has been developed, relying solely on the use of vertical axis coils. This magnet called WAVE (for Wide Aperture VEctor) is now available at the LLB-Orphée for the user community.
