__NOEDITSECTION__
Due to its magnetic dipole moment, the neutron
can be affected by a variation of the local magnetic field
inside materials. This magnetic field most often originates from
atomic magnetic moments.
To simplify the presentation, we here consider only magnetic
fields arising from the spins of electrons in unpaired atomic orbitals.

A more complete treatment of magnetic neutron scattering theory
is given in a number of textbooks,
e.g.~the one by Marshall and Lovesey<ref name="marshall">W. Marshall and S.W. Lovesey. ''Theory of Thermal Neutron Scattering'' (Oxford, 1971)</ref>.

The study of the orientation of magnetic moments in materials is a rich and diverse field,
in which neutron scattering is a key technique.
We will in this chapter turn to the study of magnetic structures by magnetic neutron diffraction,
while [[Inelastic magnetic scattering]] is devoted to the treatment of
inelastic magnetic scattering, e.g. from magnetic excitations.

Magnetic scattering can also be performed with spin-polarised neutrons,
where additional information on magnetic properties can be obtained.
This will be covered by a later version of these notes.
