Abstract
The influence of periodically inserted monatomic layers on the magnetic pro perties of thin Cr films is investigated by applying Sn-119 Mossbauer spect roscopy to epitaxial X/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers, where monatomic X (X = V, Fe, or Ag) and Sn layers are embedded alternately in a Cr(001) film. The hyperf ine field induced at the Sn sites shows a significant dependence on X, indi cating that the size of the Cr magnetic moments changes drastically depende nt on the sort of inserted metal.
