This work analyzes two mathematical algorithms for processing experimental curves in polarized neutron reflectometry, one of which makes it possible to determine the complex reflection coefficient. The approbation was carried out for a Fe/Cr type superlattice with an irregular non-collinear ordering of the magnetic moments of the Fe layers. The processing of the experiment was carried out both by direct refinement of the structure parameters and by the method of calculating the module and phase of the reflectometry signal using the Gd reference layer. The results obtained with different methods are compared with each other. To clarify the structural and magnetic characteristics, the Levenberg — Marquardt algorithm was applied in both cases. The obtained data on the magnetic structure is in agreement with the theoretical model of magnetization of a layered antiferromagnet of finite dimensions in a weak field. The presented modification of the reference layer method can be considered as the phase problem solution in polarized neutron reflectometry.
