The polar ellipticity spectra of the interfaces of epitaxial Fe/Au(001
) wedges have been measured. The interface spectra resemble neither th
e reflection Faraday spectrum of Au nor the thin-film spectra of thin
Au sandwiched Fe. The existence of low and high energy peaks suggest t
hat magneto-optical transitions occur from and to the interface states
