Abstract

The magnetic properties of thin Cr layers in epitaxial V/Crmultilayered structures were investigated at room temperature and 15 K via 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The magnetic moment andthe Néel temperature of Cr, as inferred from the magnetichyperfine fields transferred to the 119Sn monatomic layersinserted in Cr layers, were found to reduce on decreasing the Crlayer thickness below 40 Å. The local magnetic structure alongthe growth direction of 80 Å thick Cr layers was investigated bychanging the Sn probe positions. The effect of the V/Cr interfaceon the Cr magnetism is discussed.
