Abstract

ABSTRACT197Au Mössbauer measurements have been performed for Au/Fe, Au/Co and Au/Ni magnetic multilayers. 197Au Mössbauer spectra observed from multilayers consist of at least 4 components having different magnitude of hyperfine fields and isomer shift values those depend on the local environments of the Au probe-atoms in multilayers. Rather large electron spin polarization at Au atoms has been observed in the interface with adjacent ferromagnetic layers, but nearly no magnetic hyperfine field has been observed to the interior of Au layer. It implies that the largest hyperfine field observed is not due to the conduction-electron polarization but induced by the hybridization in the interface with ferromagnetic layer.
