Abstract:

We have studied the induced magnetic moments of Ag in Ag/Fe multilayers with low temperature nuclear orientation. The experiments show that there are induced magnetic moments in the Ag spacer and these induced magnetic moments do not lie in the plane of the multilayer for 2 and 4 ML of Ag at low external field.
