Abstract
Mössbauer spectroscopy is a conventional technique to measure magnetic hyperfine fields. Particularly experiments on 57Fe and 119Sn are easy and observed hyperfine fields furnish us useful information not only for studies on magnetism but also generally to characterize condensed matters. In this article, the usefulness of Mössbauer spectroscopy for studies on magnetic multilayers is introduced. 57Fe spectra of Fe/Mg multilayers are shown as a function of Fe layer thickness and magnetic properties of ultrathin amorphous Fe layers are argued. From the results on Fe/Mn and Fe/Cr multilayers, the features of interfaces are discussed. The results on Fe/RE (rare-earth) indicate that anisotropy of interface plays an important role. Interface magnetic properties of Fe film in contact with MgO and those of Fe oxides have been studied using interface-selectively enriched samples. Finally, several recent studies on magnetic multilayers and also on Heusler alloy films by using 119Sn probes are also described.
