Abstract
By means of high resolution time differential perturbed angular correl ation spectroscopy on diamagnetic Cd incorporated into MBE-grown Fe/Co multilayers, we accurately determine the transferred magnetic hyperfi ne fields in the layers. We assign experimentally observed satellite f ields to probes in plateaus near a sharp interface. These fields are u sed to fit magnetic moments near the Fe/Co interface. We obtain a mome nt profile that oscillates with the layer number in both Fe and Co nea r the sharp (1 - 10) Fe/Co interface.
