We report on a further development of the MIEZE method for inelastic measurements of ferromagnetic samples. MIEZE is a spin-echo method similar to neutron resonance spin-echo (NRSE) [1], but with the entire polarisation analysis taking place before the sample, thus making it ideally suited for studying depolarising materials. The MIEZE instrument option [2] and the recent development of a triple-axis spectrometry (TAS) option at the instrument MIRA [3] made it possible to combine both methods into a single setup. Using TAS we can position the instrument at the specified (q, E) values given by the dispersion relation of the magnetic excitations and measure their linewidth using MIEZE at a higher resolution than that given by a pure TAS. Due to inelastic energy transfer at the sample, corrections have to be taken into account for calculating the focus point of the MIEZE signal. We present a theoretical model, Monte-Carlo simulations and first experimental results of our measurements.
