Abstract
Mössbauer spectroscopy is a useful tool to study the magnetic properties of multilayers from microscopic viewpoints. Recent experimental results relating to the issues on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and interlayer coupling are briefly described. For the study of magnetic layers, 57Fe is a suitable Mössbauer isotope. On the other hand, in order to estimate spin polarization in non-magnetic layers, 119Sn and 197Au are used as microscopic probes. It is also introduced that the antiferromagnetic order of ultrathin Cr layers is investigated from Mössbauer spectra of inserted 119Sn probe layers with a monatomic thickness.
