Abstract
1. Introduction Magnetic multilayers are, nowadays, the object of an undefeated attention in surface physics, the theory of magnetism and the theory of electron transport because they possess unique properties and they are very promising materials for the future “spinelectronics” (or “magnetoelectronics”, or “spintronics”). The methods of their experimental investigations are accordingly intensively developing (see e.g. a review introduction in [1]). The most difficult problem is the investigation of the magnetic state of buried layers and interfaces. Spin-polarized neutron reflectivity, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, X-ray magnetic-resonant scattering, nuclear probe methods and some others have been continuously improving for such depth selective investigation. In particular, the nanometer depth selectivity of Mössbauer spectroscopy is achieved by inserting 57Fe probe layers at a definite depth in investigated samples [2,3].
