摘要
We have investigated magnetic properties of thin Fe layers epitaxially grown on a V(110) single crystal in an in-situ experiment by neutron reflectivity. The low interaction of the neutrons with the V substrate allows to determine the absolute magnetic moment of the uncovered films of monolayer thickness. The Fe films clearly show ferromagnetic ordering down to 5 ML thickness, whereas for a 3 ML film no in-plane magnetization is found even at a temperature of 80 K.
