Larmor Diffaction (LD) is a neutron resonance spin-echo technique which allows the study of the lattice constant as well the distribution of lattice constants. It was traditionally thought that neutron spin-echo measurements cannot be used in materials such as superconductors or ferromagnets, because they strongly depolarize a polarized neutron beam. In UGe2 we are able to demonstrate that this technique may be applied in ferromagnetic superconductors with a magnetic Ising anisotropy. UGe2 exhibits two ferromagnetic phases which are separated by a transiton at temperature Tx. With increasing hydrostatic pressure superconductivity emerges at the pressure for which Tx is suppressed. Using LD we studied the temperature dependence of the lattice constant as well as the distribution of lattice constants for all three axis of UGe2 down to 0.5 K and at pressures up to 12 kbar.
