Abstract

We have made a study of magnetic heterostructures involving the epitaxial growth of (110)Fe on (111)Ag. The flatness and continuity of the films was verified by Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction during the growth process. A series of structures were made with very thin intervening silver layers with thicker iron layers. The doping of appropriate layers by enriched Fe57 made it possible to examine the magnetic structure of the iron films as a function of depth. Preliminary results indicate that thin layers of silver sandwiched between two very thin Fe layers are able to transmit conduction electron polarization, resulting in iron behavior which resembles that of bulk iron. Implications of these results for understanding the nature of the magnetization of iron will be addressed in the following.
