Abstracts

EN

Grazing incidence nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation (synchrotron Mössbauer reflectometry) has recently been efficiently applied to study the magnetic structure of multilayers. Principles and recent experiments of synchrotron Mössbauer reflectometry are briefly reviewed. The orientation of the layer magnetization in an antiferromagnetically coupled multilayer is determined both from time-integral and time-differential specular synchrotron Mössbauer reflectometry experiments. Spin-flop phenomena are studied. Off-specular (diffuse) scattering gives information on the in-plane antiferromagnetic domain structure.
