Experimental setting of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) with keeping any thermal gradient as small as experimentally achievable. a, b Photograph (a) and schematic drawing (b) of the MnSi sample and sample mount for the NG7 experiment. The incident neutron beam was shaped to be 2.0 mm (width) × 1.0 mm (height) by an aperture. c, d Schematic illustration of the beam illumination area for investigating the peak broadening (c) and counter-rotating behavior at the sample edges (d) of the skyrmion-lattice peaks (From Deformation of the moving magnetic skyrmion lattice in MnSi under electric current flow)
