Abstract
A magnetic hyperfine field induced at Ag sites near the interface between a Ag(100) crystal and an epitaxially grown bcc Fe(100) film has been measured with monolayer resolution. Utilizing perturbed-angular-correlation spectroscopy with probes a magnetic hyperfine field in the first atomic Ag layer is found to be strongly reduced relative to the Fe bulk value and decreases very quickly as a function of distance from the interface. For both sides of the interface the temperature dependence is well described by a spin-wave behavior; however, it is strongly enhanced on the nonmagnetic side.
