Abstract
The optical second-harmonic intensity generated by magnetic multilayer s of cobalt and gold strongly depends on the magnetization. At normal incidence the results are independent of the amount of bulk cobalt and gold, but are accurately described by pure magnetic interface contrib utions. This represents a way to probe buried interface magnetism usin g magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation.
