摘要
The interface of thin films of Fe/NiO (1 0 0)-oriented single crystals was studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Thin layers of Fe were removed by "in situ" sputtering, followed by XMCD measurements, resulting in a depth profile. A decrease from the bulk value in the value of the Fe moment Lit the interface of Fe with the antiferromagnetic NiO(100) was observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
